| Abstract | Translocation of micronutrients was investigated in Phaseolus vulgaris (var. Annapurna) grown on soil amended with paper mill sludge. The plants of P. vulgaris w ere grown in soil amended with 20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, and 100% paper mill sludge to study the accumulation and tra nslocation of iron (Fe), zinc (Zn), cadmium (Cd), c opper (Cu), chromium (Cr) and lead (Pb) in plant parts (shoot, root, leaves, fruits). The different rates of paper mill sludge showed significant (P<0.01) change in pH, electrica l onductivity (EC), cation exchange capacity (CEC) , organic matter (OM), nitrate nitrogen (NO 3 -N), phosphate phosphorus (PO 4 3-P), Fe, Zn, Cd, Cu, Cr and Pb of the amended soil in comparison to their controls. The s oot, root length and yield showed significant (P<0 .05) increase in lower amendment of sludge up to 20% to 40% in co mparison to controls. The translocation of Fe was i n order of leaves> shoot> root> fruits, for Zn, Cu and Pb it w as Shoot > leaves > root > fruits and for Cd and Cr it was root > shoot > leaves > fruits of P. vulgaris. The order of accumulation of micronutrients in P. vulgaris w as in order of Fe> Zn > Cd > Cu > Cr > Pb after amended with paper mill sludge. The translocation of different micron utrients was recorded to be plant parts specific. Significan t positive correlation was recorded between metal a ccumulation in the soil and plants as well after amended with p aper mill sludge. |
