Textile industry effluents are discharged on land and into adjacent water bodies. These effluents cause soil and ground water pollution. Textile effluents carry heavy metals which are harmful to vegetables crops. The objective of the present study is to determine the heavy metals in soil treated with textile industry effluent. Textile industry effluent was obtained from district Sant Ravidas Nagar, Bhadohi and used in this study. A pot experiment including tomato was conducted adopting Completely Randomized Design with five treatments and three replications in the natural open weather conditions for 60 days. Five concentrations of effluents viz; 0%, 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% were used for present experiment. Zero per cent concentration was treated as control. Observations related to concentration of heavy metals (Zn, Cu, Cr, Pb and Ni) in soil were recorded at 45 and 60 days after transplanting. Results reveal that minimum amount was recorded in 0% concentration of effluent (control). As the concentration of effluent increased there is continuous increase in zinc, copper, chromium, lead and nickel content in soil. Maximum amount was recorded with 100% effluent concentration.
