Edible crops especially the vegetables grown on contaminated water get loaded with different heavy metals such as Ni, Cd, Cr, Cu and/or Zn from city effluents. These pollutants are serious threat to human health. Present study was designed to know the growth behaviour and to assess the potential of various tree species for uptake of heavy metals under different irrigation regimes. Irrigation (treatment) of municipal wastewater (MW), domestic wastewater (DW) and canal water (CW) was applied on tree species namely Albizzia procera (Rox.), Dalbergia sissoo Roxb., Eucalyptus camaldulensis Dehn.,...
