Abstract :

The present study deals with lead (Pb) uptake and accumulation in Sesamum ( Sesamum Indicum L Var YLM – 11).Pot experiments were conducted taking native agricultural soil spiked with Lead Nitrate to get 23.6 ?g/g, 236 ?g/g and 2360 ?g/g and growing the sesamum species at these test concentrations along with control soil. Lead uptake and accumulation in different plants of root, stem, leaf, seed and whole plant were studies at different time intervals of crop ages of 30 days, 60 days and 90 days at different soil lead (Test) concentrations in comparisons with control soil.
