Effect of increasing doses of Pb and Cd salts for growth and development of sprouts of seed peas ( Pisum sativum) and soft wheat ( Triticum aestivum)

Abstract

The aim of the study was to study the effect of increasing doses of Cd and Pb salts on the morphometric parameters of pea and wheat seedlings. The problem of protecting the biosphere from chemical pollution, which is caused by the development of industry, transport, agricultural chemization, and intensive urbanization, is becoming increasingly important at the present time. This problem has become particularly acute due to the pollution of the environment with heavy metals. The most dangerous environmental pollutants among heavy metals are cadmium and lead. As a result, the negative impact of heavy metals on the initial stages of growth and development of seed peas (Pisum sativum L.) and soft wheat (Triticum aestivum L.).
