Changes in nutrients content of Radish (Raphanus sativus) under copper toxicity

Abstract

In this experiment, we tried to explore the changes that are occurring in radish due to the treatment with copper. A pot culture experiment was conducted and copper was applied to radish (Raphanus sativus) plant. Macronutrients such as, nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, sodium, calcium, magnesium were analysed for the treated plants. The results showed that the low concentrations of copper level (50 mg kg) enhanced the macronutrients while higher concentration of copper(100 250 mg kg) in the soil decreased these parameters.
