Toxic effects of Cd (NO3)2 on chlorophyll content of soybean and pigeonpea

A study was carried out on toxic effects of cadmium nitrate on chlorophyll content of soybean and pigeon pea for two crop seasons. The concentration studied were 0.01M, 0.001M and 0.0001M. Chlorophyll content markedly decreased in all the treated plants and the decline was directly related to the concentration.
