A pot experiment was conducted in the net house of environmental plant physiology laboratory, department of Botany, Aligarh Muslim University, to study the comparative effect of sewage wastewater and ground water on the performance of linseed (Linum usitattisimum L.) cv Neelam. Sewage wastewater proved more efficient in enhancing growth, leaf NPK content, chlorophyll content, yield and oil content. However, iodine value was lower in plants receiving sewage wastewater which is considered good as far as varnish industry is considered. The physico-chemical characteristics of sewage wastewater were within the permissible limits of Bureau of Indian standards.
