Abstract
Objective: To provide information regarding mineral contents of Fagonia indica of Kech, Balochistan.
Methodology: Mineral composition of various parts of Fagonia indica and its habitat were analyzed by atomic absorption spectrophotometry. Physicochemical parameters of soil were analyzed by adopting standard procedures.
Results: Significantly high concentration of iron (293.333±2.624 mg/kg), sodium (665.343±0.202 mg/kg), potassium (835.147±0.544 mg/kg), magnesium (1114.833±4.785 mg/kg) and calcium (4134.615±19.230mg/kg), moderate concentration of copper (5.464±0.789 mg/kg) and zinc (26.538±0.993 mg/kg) while low concentration of lead (0.809±0.065 mg/kg), nickel (1.363±0.023mg/kg), arsenic (0.425±0.01 mg/kg) and chromium (0.173±0.01 mg/kg) were observed from various parts of the plant.
