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.
