Accumulation potential of Indian mustard (Brassica juncea var. arawali) and fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum L.) planted on Lead and Nickel contaminated soil

Accumulation potential of Indian mustard (Brassica juncea var. arawali) and fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum L.) planted on Lead and Nickel contaminated soil

The aim of the present study was to examine the accumulation potential of Indian mustard (Brassica juncea var. arawali) and fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum) plants in lead and nickel contaminated soil. Plants were exposed to higher concentrations of Pb and Ni (800 mg l -1 ). EDTA and SA were am...

Plants were exposed to higher concentrations of Pb and Ni (800 mg l -1 ). EDTA and SA were amended at 2.4 mM concentrations. Plants were harvested and ovendried. The accumulation of Pb and Ni in plants was determined and their effects on plant growth were evaluated for both species. Seed germination rate of T. foenum-graecum plants was higher as compared to B. juncea arawali plants. In conclusion, the accumulation capacity of fenugreek was found more than Indian mustard in Pb and Ni contaminated soil.http://www.tropicalplantresearch.com/archives/2018/vol5issue2/27.pdfAccumulationLeadNickelIndian mustardFenugreek
