Abstrak

The objective of this paper was to evaluate the effects of industry effluent on the anatomical parameters of Air Plant (Bryophyllum Pinnatum (Lam.) Oken) collected from Nsukka, Enugu State, Nigeria using appropriate standard procedures. Data collected reveals that the Brewery effluent was found to be alkaline in nature with a pH of 7.5. The results of using brewery industry effluents as alternative fertilizer during off-seasonal vegetable planting seasons showed significant increase 4 on the number of epidermal cells, revealed stomata increase and increase in abaxial and adaxial surfaces from 20% to 100% treatments. In conclusion, Brewery effluent should not be discharged directly into the water bodies and their surroundings. Alternatively, since applying Brewery effluent promoted an increase in soil pH, Mg, N, K, and Ca thus, it can provide nutrients to the soil and thus to plants, therefore making it an alternative to mineral fertilizers.
