其他摘要：Use of sewage water for irrigation purposes has emerged an important way to utilize its nutrients and removal of toxic heavy metals by growing tolerant plant species. In the present study, Trigonella foenum-graecum seedlings were grown hydroponically using sewage to know whether it can be used to phyto filtrate toxic heavy metal cadmium from sewage and also impact of sewage water on growth and biochemical parameters of Trigonella foenum-graecum seedling. The study result indicated decrease in concentration of Cadmium in sewage water after growing Trigonella foenum-graecum hydroponically. Insignificant increase was observed in root and shoot length, chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, total chlorophyll and protein content in Trigonella foenum-graecum as compared to control. Present study concludes that Trigonella foenum-graecum can be grown hydroponically to phytofiltrate cadmium from sewage without affecting its growth adversely.KEY WORD: Cadmium, Chlorophyll content, Protein content, Root length, Shoots length.
