dc.description.abstractCashew plant (Anacardium occidentale L.) seeds were pretreated with concentrated tetraoxosulphate (IV) acid (H2SO4) in three concentrations: 5%, 10% and 20% in 5, 15 and 30 minutes each and were grown in lead (Pb) (Lead (II) acetate) Pb(C2H3O2)2 contaminated soil (7 kg) in three concentrations 1000 ppm, 3000 ppm and 5000 ppm. Seed emergence was appreciated in 5% acid concentration and depressed in 10% and 20%. However, the effect of Pb was significantly observed as it delayed seed emergence in the control plants. Plant height, number of leaves and stem girth increased significantly across the months while the leaf area was depressed. The total Pb content was determined using Atomic Adsorption Spectrophotometry (AAS). The present result showed higher root Pb compared to shoot Pb, indicating limited mobility, once absorbed by the roots and that its accumulation and translocation is concentration dependent in relation to the pretreatment time interval. The result showed that the plant demonstrated a physiological response to Pb pollution, which suggests that cashew plants are indicators of heavy metal accumulation and the effect on the environment.en_US
