Effects Of Palm Oil Mill Effluent On The Germination Of Seeds Of Abebnoschus Esculentus L., Glycine Max L .And Zea Mays L.:- Awazie, Lucky N.
ABSTRACTS
Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME) is considered
the most harmful waste for the I environment it discharged untreated. The study
was carried out to evaluate the effect of palm oil mill effluent on seed
germination percentages of Abehnoschus esculentus, Glycine max, and Zea mays.
The seeds were collected from National Root Crop Research Institute (NRCRI)
Umudike, Abia state. The seeds were raised in Petri dish, irrigated with
different concentration of Palm Oil Mill Effluent (25, 50, 75 and 100%) and
Petri dish containing distilled water served as the control. Each treatment was
replicated three times including the control with ten seeds planted in each
Petri dish. The seed were allowed for five days to germinate with once a day
wetting of the dishes. At lower concentrations (25%) the seeds of Glycine max,
Abelmoschns esculentus and Zea mays showed highest germination. Glycine max
(soya beans) showed the highest resistance to the pollutant (POME) with maximum
germination percentage of 93.33% at the treatment level of 25% and 80.00% at
control, Abehnoschus esculentus had 40.00% in control and 25% concentration
while Zea mays had 46.67% as the maximum at control. The germination rate of
the seeds at 50%, 75%, and 100% concentration was lower compared to ones grown
in control (0%) and 25% concentration among the seeds of Glycine max,
Abehnoschus esculentus and Zea mays. This shows that at high concentrations of
POME, the germination percentages ofAbehnoschus esculentus, Glycine max and Zea
mays were lowered, while lower concentrations increases the germination
percentages.
