Nickel (Ni) has been a subject of interest for environmental, physiological, biological scientists due to its dual effect (toxicity and essentiality) in terrestrial biota. In general, the safer limit of Ni is 1.5 μg g−1 in plants and 75–150 μg g−1 in soil. Litreature review indicates that Ni concent...
