  Heavy metals are very dangerous to environment and harm to all living organisms e.g. plants and animals etc. They enter the plant through soil and damage the internal mechanisms of plants. Chromium is very toxic to plants as well as animals. It has negative influences on plant growth, mineral nutrients and chlorophyll contents. Increasing its concentration causes reduction in plant growth, Chlorophyll contents and mineral nutrients in Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). All the parameters were found to be reduced if there is increase in the concentration of chromium... Read More»
