The present study was conducted to investigate the influence of copper and /or zinc metal on growth parameters and antioxidants. Both metal led to decreased and delayed seed germination and production of seedling biomass in comparison to control seedlings. The combined effect of copper and zinc was proved antagonistic for seedling growth at early stage, however the situation was reverse at high metal ion concentration. The study also emphasize on the response of antioxidative enzymes to copper and/or zinc stress. The result showed active involvement of peroxidase enzyme in combating the metal stress rather than catalase enzyme.
