- Abstract
The article discusses the study which explores the toxicity caused by the addition of excess compost in potted plants including green manure, farmyard manure and poultry manure. It finds that toxic effects in growing plants varied from stunted growth to complete death of the plant which followed after the germination of the seeds. It reveals that crops and cultivars within a crop differ in their sensitivity to salts in the growth of the plant.
