ABSTRACT
This recent research has pronounced effect of heavy toxic metal cadmium (Cd) on inhibition of bioremediation of atrazine herbicide. Results reflect that low population structure of beneficial microorganism due to toxic Cd metal attributed to the inhibition of biodegradation of atrazine. Due to which up taking of essential minerals ions from soil significantly reduced in seedling of bean plant. Morphological toxicity symptoms were appeared as yellow leaves of plant, which may results in, decrease in photosynthesis and impaired mineral nutrition.
