Abstract: This study investigated the response of Abelmoschus esculentus to food industry processing effluent at different concentrations of 0%, 20%, 40%, 60%, 80% and 100%. The physicochemical properties of the effluent and experimental soil were analysed. The effluent had a high BOD of 39.20mg/l compared to WHO standard of 10 and a pH of 6.12 which is within WHO allowable limit of 6.5-8.5. The conductivity was low 130.00 μs/cm compared to WHO standard of 750.5. The study also revealed that food industry effluent had a significant (p
