Metals are essential micro molecules required by living cell for biochemical reactions. Several metals are essential and useful to cells while few show adverse effects on living forms. Nickel and zinc are commonly counted as important metals to plant cells but sometimes their higher concentration is harmful to plant cells. In the present study was focused on study of effects of nickel and zinc on biomass and growth rate of three widely cultivated pulses i.e. Glycine max, Vigna unguiculata and Vigna aconitifolia. It was found that higher concentration of zinc showed no reduction in biomass and growth rate of all three investigated plants. However, nickel poses adverse effect on biomass and growth rate of experimental plants at high concentrations.
