Abstract

Due to various anthropogenic emission activities, antimony (Sb) concentration is gradually rising day by day in the agricultural system. The intake of Sb is more on those soils which are having high contamination in the form of soil soluble Sb. Antimony is a lustrous grey metalloid that is to be present in nature in the form of Sulfide mineral stibnite (Sb2S3). Sb is a toxic trace element and it has wider scopes in terms of research as there is very less work is done on the soil contaminated with metalloids like antimony, arsenic, etc. Antimony is found to be less toxic when compared to other elements like arsenic. During our research crop trial, we apply the salt of Antimony potassium tartrate hemihydrate (100 ppm) in solution form individually and also in combination with Trichoderma hamatum. 6 gram of Trichoderma hamatum is applied to the pot. Various parameters viz; Pod per plant, Siliqua length, Weight per pod, Seed per pod, Chlorophyll index of pods are taken into account to chec
