Abstract

When crop of Brassica campestris cv MYSL-203 was irrigated with different diluted dose of paper mill effluent, the parameters were studied after two month of sowing. It was observed that vegetative growth in terms of root, shoot length and biomass was slightly increased. The level of total chlorophyll and protein was not affected, while total nitrogen was enhanced in root, shoot at 100% concentration and at 10% concentration, the decline in total carbohydrate and nitrogen in root was noted.
