Abstract


The environment is contaminated with Heavy Metals (HMs) with increasing HM pollution due to various human and natural processes. An Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (AMF) is the large amount pervasive soil vegetative symbiotic fungus in the terrene environment and mitigates the noxious property of discrete contaminants on both natural and agricultural crop plants. In addition to AMF also repress various antagonistic and assistance bacteria such as root pathogens, PGPR including free-living and symbiotic N2-fixers, and pinch-hitting as microbial fertilizers, and microbial degraders. The experiments were carried out of the black gram seeds were sown in pots, the pots containing 5 kg of soil with AMF inoculation and adding different proportion of Cr [(Potassium dichromate (VI), K2Cr2O7]. Three repeats were maintained for each level. Under these investigational conditions the morphological parameters like shoot and root length, number of leaves, total leaf area was inspected with 15, 30, 60 and 75th DAS and yield parameters like number of pods/plants, amount of seeds/plants and 250 seeds weight was recorded. The nutrient content such as N, P, K, Ca, Zn, Fe and Cr of black gram was recorded in 75th DAS of dry plants. The end of the results Cr contaminated soils were decreased the growth, nutrient contents and yield parameters when compared to AMF inoculated plants. Additionally, the profitable effects of the AMF observed in this study aroused an interest in considering the role of AMF in plant-based strategies of protection of highly Cr-polluted soils.
