ABSTRACT
Heavy metal pollution is a major environmental stress than can affect plant growth. The toxic effects of nickel on germination and growth of Coriander (Coriandrum sativum) seedling were investigated for 8 days. Growth of seedling parts especially radicle was greatly reduced for concentration at and above 50 mg/l.
Key words : Coriandrum sativam, Heavy metal, Nickel, Toxicity,
