ABSTRACT: Industrial discharge is the prominent impediment of maintaining a congenial aquatic and terrestrial habitat. The present study was undertaken to evaluate the status of crop cultivation before and after industrial development in Mokesh beel area, where composite effluent of different industries are discharged intensively. Face-to-face interview was conducted among local relevantrespondents to achievethe aforesaid objectives. Water quality of Mokesh beel wasseverely deteriorated and its usageswere restricted mostlyafter industrial development. Remarkably decreased cultivation of rice,all vegetables, mangoand jackfruit afterindustrial development were cited by maximum percent of respondents. Increased percentage of respondents (39 and 20%) mentioned that deformed fruit size and abnormal taste were maximized after industrial development than before, respectively. Besides decreased yield of rice and jackfruit was reported by majority of the respondents (75 and 84%, respectively). Maximum deterioration was reported of rice (27%) and jack fruit (25%) cultivation after industrial development. Industrial development in Mokesh beel area remarkably decreased crop production practices.
