This study was concerned to the effects of 5 various level of polluted water of three different localities of Quetta city (viz., Chiltan Ghee Mill, Chiltan Town and Zarghoon Town) on seed germination and seedling growth of Lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.). The Lettuce was taken as a test plant and its seeds were germinated in petri-dishes in the Laboratory. Results showed that seed germination was significantly reduced and delayed as the concentration of wastewater (domestic and industrial effluents) increased. Seedling growth (radical and plumule length) also showed adverse effect in response to increasing level of polluted water. Whereas, plumule growth was comparatively better than that of radical subjected to initial doses of polluted water. However, by comparing the source of polluted water, maximum reduction in germination and seedling growth were obtained in the effluents of Chiltan Ghee Mill followed by domestic sewage of Chiltan and Zarghoon towns, respectively. It can be safely concluded that polluted water is becoming a threat for the crops with the passage of time as more and more wastes are becoming the part of it. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate the effects of polluted water on plants. Through appropriate awareness campaigns the communities in general and notables in particular, should be made aware of the harmful effects of the activity within the traditional norms and practices. |
