Abstract: The natural dyes effluent are not toxic to the growth of plants and also to aquatic plants. In this present study, it is understood that the effluent of plant dye did not interfere with seed germination and growth rateof many in selected plant species. The magnitude of toxicity if any depends upon the nature of the plant and chemicals present in the natural dyes effluent. In this study efforts were taken to evaluate the different concentrations of different plant dye effluent on seed germination and growth rate of green gram seeds. The untreated (control) and treated (plant dye effluent) green grams were almost equal in their germination and growth rate. The results help to studies the dye extract was found to be non-toxic.
