Study of dust deposition on leaves of some plant species in GVISH. Campus of Amravati (MS) India
Journal Title: International Journal of Life Science - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 4
Abstract
A survey of fifteen dust polluted plants of different families were carried out in institute campus. The dust holding capacity of leaves, pH of dust wash of leaf surface and amount of total chlorophyll content with respect to dust deposition on leaves are determined. From the surveyed plants the quantity of dust deposition was recorded from the randomly sampled leaves. The maximum dust deposition on leaf surface was recorded in Ficus benghalensis and Pongamia pinnata. Minimum dust deposition was found on Spathodea campanulata. The pH of leaf wash of dust was found maximum on dust polluted leaves as compared to the control. The minimum total chlorophyll content was recorded in dust affected leaves.
