€ 54,00

Constant exercise of contaminated water in irrigation has increased threat of toxic metals in soil that eventually caused phytotoxicity in plants. Among the heavy metals, accumulation of arsenic (As) in soil and water has increased potential agricultural and environmental hazards worldwide, and has been a serious problem for safe food production. Keeping in view the significance of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) in Pakistan, the present work was designed to access phytotoxicity, accumulation and distribution of arsenate in seed and seedling of plant. Study also focused on arsenate management from aqueous solution by utilizing low cost and environment friendly agricultural wastes adsorbents. This book is mainly helpful for plant pathologists, environmentalists, wheat growers and breeders.
