| Description |
Rare earth elements (REE) are found to be beneficial to plants in order to improve crop yield. The present study reveals the response of
leguminous plant (Arachis hypogaea L.) to monazite soil containing Rare earth elements (Lanthanum and Samarium). This particular
study explains the effects of rare earths on factors such as growth, total leaf chlorophyll content, number of root nodules and nitrogenase
activity of groundnut plant. A significant increase in plant biomass and total chlorophyll content are observed. The increase in number of
root nodules and the nitrogenase activity (Acetylene reduction, 20.72 n moles C2H4 formed / h/ g fresh nodules) were observed in the
plants exposed to REEs. A profound effect of Lanthanum and Samarium present in the rare earth soil on the chlorophyll content, amylase
activity, SOD and POD level were noticed.
