Abstract
In this study, external morphological characters were studied each in brinjal and radish plants. These are related to differences in external morphological appearance only and not related with data values. These characters were thoroughly studied and their respective figures were recorded at both control and polluted soil sites. These polluted sites contain the effluents from the nearby industries of sanganer region, Rajasthan, India. It was experimentally recorded that both mature vegetable plants showed significant morphological differences when allowed to grown with different irrigation conditions.
