Abstract

Two varieties of wheat were grown on different soil types (chernozem carbonate and humus-carbonate). The influence of experimentally polluted water was investigated on the structural characteristics on the leaves of the two varieties. A positive impact is detected under the influence of Mg600 and Cu300 on the thickness of leaves, leaf lamina and mezophils. Variety “Yantar” with humus-carbonate soils has better characteristics of structural leafy parameters in comparison with a variety “Sadovo” in the same soil parameters, which indicates that it is more resistant to the effects of the pollutants.
