Enriching the soil with phosphate (Pi) in As condition is believed to reduce the uptake of As in plants. But, it is not clear whether this uptake changes affect the growth behaviors of plant or not. This study, therefore, aimed to determine the efficacy of Pi in balancing the negative effects of As on Cucumis melo as measured in terms of seed germination, seedling growth and biomass production of se… Show more
