In present study an attempt has been made
to study the pollution level of river Yamuna at Agra, by
analyzing the physico-chemical parameters of untreated and
bacterial-treated water and its effect on the growth of
maize plant. Among different concentrations (25, 50, 75 and
100%) of treated water, the 100% concentration of treated
water sample showed good effect on the plant growth over
untreated sample and control.
