A laboratory work was undertaken to assess the waste water quality parameters of treated distillery effluent and their effect of various concentrations like 0%, 25%, 50%, 75% & 100% on seeds germination, speed of germination, peak value and germination value of three selected seeds i.e. Wheat (Triticum aestivum), Pea (Pisum sativm) and Lady Finger (Abelmoschus esculentus). Where the high value of T.S. (4285), B.O.D. (544.5) and C.O.D. (2433) indicates the high inorganic and organic load. Germination percentage decreases with increasing concentration of effluent in all the tested seeds, where as the germination speed, peak value and germination value increases from control to 25% and 50% concentration and decreases from 50% to 75% and 100% effluent. To estimate the probable liquid fertilizer benefit, studies on subsequent dilutions is needed to corroborate the present study.
