Effects of diesel fuel contamination on seed germination of four crop plants - Arachis hypogaea, Vigna unguiculata, Sorghum bicolor and Zea mays

The effects of different levels (%) of diesel fuel contamination on four crop plants Arachis hypogaea, Vigna unguiculata, Sorghum bicolor and Zea mays were studied. One percent level of contamination didnot significantly reduce seed germination in Z. mays and S. bicolor but did in A. hypogaea and V. unguiculata (
