Among the industries food processing industrial effluents released from the dairy industries are rich in various kinds of nutrients like phosphate, Calcium, Nitrogen, Magnesium etc. and has good potential in utilization of released effluents as source of nutrients for the crop plants. To study the effect of dairy effluents on early seedling growth of Pennisetum typhoides (L). different parameters like i) Plumule and redicle ratio, ii) Fresh wt. and dry wt of germinated seeds, iii) Height of the stem, iv) Fresh wt. and dry wt. of stem, v) Root length, vi) no of leaves, vii) internodal length etc, of plants under various concentrations of milk plant effluent in compost rich and compost free soil are taken. The vegetative growth of pearl millet increases with the increase in concentration of effluent upto 80 percent decreases when irrigated with 100. conc. of effluent,
