Abstract

The present research investigates the biochemical changes in Cicer arietinum L. (commonly known as chickpea) in response to organic pollutants present in agricultural soil. Conducted in the vicinity of Veer Bahadur Singh Purvanchal University, Jaunpur, the study employs a combination of field experiments and biochemical assays to assess the impact of pollutants on enzyme activities, lipid profiles, and other metabolites in chickpea plants. Preliminary findings reveal significant alterations in these biochemical parameters, highlighting the plant's stress responses to environmental contaminants. The results underscore the importance of adopting eco-friendly agricultural practices to mitigate the adverse effects of soil pollution on essential crops like chickpea.
