Popis: Nickle pollution is worldwide problem due to industrial and anthropogenic activities. Seedlings of cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) were treated to different (NiSO4.6H2O) concentrations as 0.0 mM, 0.6 mM, 1.2 mM, 1.8mM and 2.4 mM salt into distilled water. The seedlings of V. unguiculta became less tolerable to nickel at higher concentration 2.4 mM as compared to control treatment. Nickel in trace amount is required for plant growth. In present study, the high level of nickel concentration 1.8 and 2.4 mM significantly (p
