Toxicity of Vrishabhavathy river water and sediment to the growth of phaseolus vulgharis (french beans)
Get PDFVrishabhavathy river is a tertiary tributary of river Cauvery, passing
through many thickly populated residential and industrial areas in
Bangalore city, India. This river has taken the wrath of industrial and
domestic effluents over half a century and hence has been considerably
polluted. The present paper is aimed at determining the suitability of
the river water for agricultural purposes by finding out the effect of
the use of river water and sediment on the growth of French beans
compared to a control with loamy soil and bore-well water free from
heavy metals and organic matter. No heavy metal was present in the
edible part of the plant. It was observed that the height of plants,
number of leaves, number of flowers, number of pods and biomass were
all more than that with control for all combinations with river water
and sediment. The results have been statistically analysed and
presented in the paper. All the parameters studied were highly
influenced by either river water with loamy soil or reduced composition
of sediment soil with river water over river water with sediment or the
control. It is concluded that this river water and sediment might be
used as a source of fertilizer for better growth of plants. Presence of
heavy metals though high in water and sediment does not enter the food
chain and hence poses no threat
