Influence of Uranyl Nitrate on Seed Germination and Early Seedling Growth of Vigna Radiata L. Wilczek

Key Points

• Uranyl nitrate negatively affects seed germination rates and early seedling growth of Vigna radiata, indicating phytotoxicity.
• Significant decreases in germination were observed with increasing concentrations of uranyl nitrate, with some rates dropping to 50%.
• Analysis involved testing various concentrations of uranyl nitrate on seed germination and seedling development over a controlled timeframe.
• Findings highlight the environmental implications of uranyl nitrate on agricultural practices and seed viability.
