Copper (Cu) is one of the micronutrient needed by plants which activates some enzymes in plants, also required in the process of photosynthesis and is essential in plant respiration and assists in metabolism of carbohydrates and proteins. However excess of copper inhibits plant growth and impairs important cellular process (i.e. photosynthesis electron transport). In industrial effluent. Here we reviewed the adverse effects of Cu on Sorghum bicolor and was investigated. Copper was applied in the form of copper sulphate (CuSo4.5H20) in four levels (0,5,10.0 and 15.0ppm).We observed visible symptoms of Cu toxicity in this plants. The increased concentrations of Cu caused oxidative stress in plants and subsequently increased the antioxidant responses due to increased production of highly toxic oxygen free radicals which further increased the defensive mechanisms through Superoxide dismutase (SOD), Ascorbateperoxidise (APX), Guiacolperoxidise (GPX), Catalase (CAT), activites in leaves compared with that of control group.
