Seed germination and growth of maize (Zea mays L.) on lead contaminated soil in response to compost, exogenous proline and plant growth promoters in Ibadan, Nigeria
Soil contamination with heavy metal poses serious threat to agricultural productivity. It induces oxidative stress on crop and causes reduction in crop yield. To enhance crop production and safety, strategies must be developed to increase crop tolerance to heavy metal toxicity and enhance crop produ...
