Abstract Objective: Water is vital components of life support system and the quality of the water pivotal role in the maintenance of aquatic health. Sugar mill refinery effluent containing some toxic substances put forth a huge impact on watershed management and crop plants. Toxic metals are hazardous which can stimulate morphological and histological changes in finger millet (Eleusine coracana (L.) Gaertn.). Hence, the present study aimed to analyze the yield and surface morphological changes in the finger millet crop. Materials and Methods: The healthy seed of finger millet variety (CO-13) was taken. Finger millet was cropping with different concentrations (10, 25, 50, 75 & 100 %) of sugar mill effluent. The seeds irrigated with tap water were treated as control. After, the SEM images of the finger millet after growing in 10 g of sugar mill treatment, respectively. Although the SEM images show nuclear precipitation of metals, the percentage of elements in the Eleusine coracana was analyzed by EDX. Result: The highest plant growth was analysed in 10 % of sugar mill effluent concentrations. A scanning electron microscope equipped with an energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer was used to observe and analyse the morphology of the isolates incubated in the presence of Mn, Zn, P, K, Mg, Fe, Zr, S and Cu in the root and leaf of Eleusine coracana (L.) Gaertn.
