In peri-urban areas, the use of wastewater for
crop production is a common practice due to water
scarcity. Moreover, in the recent years, large quantity
of wastewater generation and discharge as industrial
effluent in water resources is another issue for reduction
of water quality. The leather industries are significantly
contributing chromium (Cr) in effluent, whereas, other
industries may have salt and cationic load in their discharges are mixed up. Therefore, it is mandatory to
study the interactive effect of different effluent constituents on crop plants. In this connection, a pot culture
experiment was conducted at the ICAR-Indian Institute
of Soil Science, Bhopal to compute the effect of application of calcium (Ca) and sodium (Na) ions on Cr
uptake by spinach crop in Vertisol of central India.
Three levels of Cr (0, 50, 100 mg kg−1
), calcium (0, 2,
4 mM), and sodium (0, 40, 80 mM) were applied in
combinations. The spinach variety All Green was used
as a test crop and harvested at full maturity. Results
showed that application of Ca and Na reduced the Cr
uptake in spinach crop. The reduction of Cr uptake was
more in the root than shoot. Applied calcium acted as an
