Abstract

The study was undertaken to compare the concentration of macro elements (P, Na and K) in edible part of the twelve different species of vegetables, irrigated with three different water sources. It was found that the accumulation of macro elements (P, Na and K) in the edible part of plants occurs in the order of: sewage > canal > tube well water.
