The Influence of Pb and Zn Contaminated soil on the Germination and Growth of Bambara Nut (<i>Vigna subterranea</i>) by EO Oladele, T Yahaya, PGC Odeigah, IA Taiwo

“…The results show that a negative relationship existed between the different metal concentrations in the soil and the growth parameters (stem height, root length, leaf area, yellowness of leaves, fresh and dry weight) measured compared to control experiment. This study therefore reveals that these heavy metals have great implications on the sustainability of V. subterranea’s growth. …”
