Germination and Early Growth of Brassica juncea in Copper Mine Tailings Amended with Technosol and Compost

Table 2

Hydrogen peroxide, MDA, and chlorophyll contents in seedlings of Brassica juncea grown in soil and pore water of the three treatments: polluted soil amended with 25% of technosol (TE25), polluted soil amended with 50% of technosol (TE50), and polluted soil amended with 30% of compost (CO30).
