Deepankumar.K, Narmadha.N

Abstract: This paper deals with analysis of physical and chemical properties of sludge in dyeing industry .By seeding same kind of seeds in different materials such as red sand (A) and mixture of red sand & sludge (B). By using this method to find out the phytotoxicity level of plant in PH,EC(ELECTRICAL CONDUCTIVITY),plant macro and micro nutrients level in both the materials, growth of stem& root& leaf in the material and the grown plants. With this we are concluding the toxicity level present in different material and the growth of plants

Keywords: Industrial Sludge, Macro And Micro Nutrients, Agriculture, Organic Matter, Soil, Plant
