Effects of Labana Rice Mill Effluent on the Germination and Growth Performance of Lycopersicum esculentum L

This study investigated the effects of labana mill effluent on the germination and growth performances of the Lycopersicum esculentum L. at different effluent concentrations (0%, 25%, 50%, 70% & 100%) in randomized blocks. Physical and chemical parameters were determined using atomic absorption spectroscopy. There was a significant (P<0.05) inhibition of several organs measured at different concentrations of effluent compared to control. Therefore, Labana effluent may be reused for the cultivation of Lycopersicum esculentum L. treated as 70% for better yields. However, investigation of the anatomical effects of this effluent should properly conduct on Lycopersicum esculentum L. cultivated with wastewater.
