Abstract

Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) seeds treated with triadimefon protected seedlings from cadmium toxicity. The nitrate reductase activity was found to be more sensitive to cadmium toxicity at 200 ppm concentration but in triadimefon treated seedlings, inhibition in nitrate reductase was only 45%, The results suggest that triadimefon, in addition to its fungicidal properties, proves antagonistic to metal toxicity.
