Soil contamination by lead acid battery wastes inhibits seed germination and induces morphological and physiological changes in seeds of maize (Zea mays L.) and Jatropha curcas.

High concentration of heavy metals in agricultural soils has been reported to affect plan physiological processes and seed germination. There is, therefore need to ameliorate the effect of metal toxicity on germinating seeds. Greenhouse and laboratory studies were carried out to determine the effect...
