Pigments play a crucial role in facilitating metabolic reactions within plants, and among them, chlorophyll content serves as a valuable indicator of plant productivity and community function. The amount of chlorophyll present in plants is closely associated with the rate of photosynthesis, highlighting its significance in energy production and overall plant health. In this study, the influence of certain metals on the overall green pigment levels of the Raphanus sativus cultivar Pusa rashmi was investigated, and the results were presented in a tabular format. The data revealed a consistent decline in the total chlorophyll substance of Raphanus sativus cv Pusa rashmi as the quantities of hazardous metallic elements increased. This finding underscores the adverse effect of heavy metal exposure on the chlorophyll content of plants, indicating potential disruptions in metabolic processes and plant functionality. Understanding the relationship between heavy metal contamination and chlorophyll content provides valuable insights into the ecological consequences of heavy metal pollution on plant communities and ecosystem health. These findings contribute to our understanding of the intricate interplay between pigment metabolism, photosynthesis, and environmental stressors, emphasizing the need for effective strategies to mitigate the harmful effects of heavy metal pollution on plant systems.
