Effects of Nigeria dyestuff effluent on germination latency, growth, and gross growth of Zea mays
The effects of dyestuff effluent from the Kaduna river, aged for 3 months, on the growth of Zea mays were investigated. The dyestuff prolonged germination latency but enhanced seed viability. High concentrations (80-100 per cent) retarded growth rates but low concentrations (5-50 per cent) stimulate...

Zusammenfassung: | The effects of dyestuff effluent from the Kaduna river, aged for 3 months, on the growth of Zea mays were investigated. The dyestuff prolonged germination latency but enhanced seed viability. High concentrations (80-100 per cent) retarded growth rates but low concentrations (5-50 per cent) stimulated growth rates. |
