Abstract
In the present study irrigation of Pisum sativum L. was done by using thermal power plant effluent. Different concentrations like 20%, 50%, 80% and 100% were made with the help of tap water. Tap water serves as control. Study was conducted up to 20 days followed by maturation. Results were noted on every 5th day after germination in control. Different morphological parameters like number of leaves, shoot length, root length, fresh weight, dry weight, number of pods, number of fruits per plant, weight of whole fruit were checked from the harvested plants. Lower concentration of TPP effluent shows enhancement in plant growth while with higher concentrations retardation in growth was achieved.
