Laboratory Germination Experiment for Assessing the Phytotoxic Effect of Arsenic on the Growth Attribute of Different Crops

Arsenic (As) pollution is a major environmental and agricultural issue across the world. Due to industrialization over exploitation of ground water are two most important factors for occurrence arsenic in water. The irrigation contaminated poses threat not only plant system ultimately it affects all living forms on global. Early germination seedlings affected by concurrent increase As exposure fields. very low levels also brings damage phenotypically metabolically. This study was carried out evaluate performance, initial growth characteristics chlorophyll content different crops viz., rice, maize, black gram, groundnut tomato response level concentration (0.1, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, 1, 10, 20, 40 60 mgL-1) growing solution. Growth metrics were reduced as increased. Among these rice tolerant mgL-1 compared other crops. current study's findings revealed that susceptible concentrations, whereas resistant stress.
