In the present study, phytotoxicity analysis of untreated and bacterial consortium treated (Bacillus odyssey + Bacillus thuringiensis + Bacillus subtilis) textile dye effluent was carried out in five different agricultural crops viz., Paddy, Groundnut, Maize, Blackgram & Greengram. The germination percentage was less with untreated textile dye effluent treatment when compared to bacterial consortium treated textile dye effluent and water. The untreated textile dye effluent affected the length

It was observed that, maximum germination percentage, length of plumule and length of radical was noticed by the control treatment containing water alone followed by the bacterial consortium treated textile dye effluent. Minimum germination percentage, length of plumule and length of radical was noticed in untreated textile dye effluent.
