Comparative Analysis of the Effect of Cadmium and Nickel on Chlorophyll Content of Barnyard Millet (Echinochloa frumentacea Link)

Background: Both cadmium (Cd) and nickel (Ni) are recognised environmental toxins that may have devastating effects on plant life, particularly their photosynthetic pigments. Heavy metal toxicity is one of several abiotic stressors especially relevant to investigate because its impact crop species growing in close proximity heavy industrial sites, less developed nations. Methods: The chlorophyll content barnyard millet (Echinochloa frumentacea) was evaluated across five different Cd Ni concentrations (50, 100, 150, 200 250 mg/kg soil) by pot experiment. We measured compared the influence leaves E. frumentacea seedlings at 15, 30 45 days intervals. Result: results reveal there regularly a reduction attributable application a, b total content. Comparatively, higher stress than all ranging from 50 soil. Based results, it concluded declined progressively with increasing day
