Abstract
This study examines the impact of seasonal variations on phytoplankton populations and primary productivity in the Kuwano River, Basti, Uttar Pradesh, focusing on the alterations in physicochemical characteristics across different sampling sites (2024-2025). Water samples were taken in five locations in the summer, rainy, winter, and spring seasons (2024-2025). Density of phytoplankton, chlorophyll a, and primary productivity were measured together with physicochemical parameters.The statistical tests used were ANOVA,Pearson correlation, the Wilcoxon rank sum test, and CCA. Molecular diversity was evaluated by isolation and amplification of 16S r RNA and 18S rRNA,followed byphylogenetic analysis of these gene sequences.
