Effect of Mercury on Seed Germination and Seedling Growth of Mungbean ( Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek)

Effect of Mercury on Seed Germination and Seedling Growth of Mungbean ( Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek)

Among the toxic elements release in the environment, mercury is considered highly toxic to the growth of plants. The present studies report the effects of different concentrations (1, 3, 5 and 7 mM) of mercury on seed germination and seedling growth performance of mungbea ( Vigna radiata ) as compar...

Zusammenfassung:Among the toxic elements release in the environment, mercury is considered highly toxic to the growth of plants. The present studies report the effects of different concentrations (1, 3, 5 and 7 mM) of mercury on seed germination and seedling growth performance of mungbea ( Vigna radiata ) as compared to control. Mercury treatment in the form of mercuric chloride at 1 mM did not show significant reduction in seed germination of V. radiata as compared to control. Increase in concentration of mercury to 3 mM produced significant (p
