Polyamines and mycorrhiza based mitigation of cadmium induced toxicity for plant height and leaf number in maize

Abstract

Average data of plant height (cm) and leaf number were recorded at 30, 60 and 90 days after sowing of maize in Rabi season under cadmium contaminated soil. The pot experiment was conducted. Putrescine and mycorrhiza were applied as the effective ameliorative agents for cadmium toxicity. The combination of putrescine and mycorrhiza showed the best combination for the mitigation of cadmium induced toxicity in plant height and leaf number plants-1.
