Studies on the Impact of cadmium on Growth, Yield Attributes, Yield and Biochemistry of Mung Bean (Vigna radiata L Wilczek) Under Natural Field Condition, Burdwan, West Bengal.
Journal Title: Scientia Agriculturae - Year 2016, Vol 14, Issue 1
Abstract
Vigna radiata L. Wilczek is a staple food crop in terms of its high protein value. In our study we investigated in realistic field conditions the effect of six different concentration of cadmium (0,0.05,0.5,1,,10 and 20mM) on various growth attributes (root length, shoot length), yield attributes(pod length and diameter, number of grains per pod) , biochemical constituents (total chlorophyll, sugar, protein, leg hemoglobin, relative water content, leaf pH) and scanning electron microscope(SEM) study of different parts of Vigna radiata L Wilczek . A higher dose of cadmium produced 61.87% of reduction in yield . The cadmium treatment imparted its negative impact on chlorophyll , protein, leg haemoglobin and relative water content while an increment was induced for sugar and leaf pH . The SEM observation revealed gradual distortion of structural arrangement of tissues of root and shoot and reduction in the stomatal frequency. This study clearly indicates that cadmium showed toxic effects at higher concentrations of 20mM but promotery at lower concentrations of 0.05mM with reference to growth , yield and biochemical set up of crop plant.
