Abstract
In this work we are interested in evaluating the impact of nitrogen fertilizer urea on the roots of wheat Triticum durum. We followed the percentage of germination. Also biochemical parameters such as average water content, soluble sugar and average of chlorophyll content. The main results show that the presence of urea causes a significant increase in the average water content; there is also an activation of the synthesis of soluble sugars and inhibition of chlorophyll synthesis.
The most common effect of abiotic stress on plant physiology thus reducing growth.
