Abstract
An experiment was conducted on Cicer arietinum L. (Gram) to study the effect of Sulphur-di-Oxide On pH of leaf extract, chlorophyll and Growth of the plant at Central Institute of Agriculture Engineering, Nabi Bagh, Bhopal during its cropping season. 20 days old Gram plants were exposed to Sulphur-di-Oxide for 30 days. Results were noted for 35, 50, 65 days plants. Growth parameters, pH of leaf extract, Carotenoid and chlorophyll were adversely affected under Sulphur-di-Oxide exposuse of 1.00 ppm.
