Moringa oleifera sprung in soil contaminated with Lead and Magnesium. Stressof heavy metals of different strength was applied in each replicate. Physicalparameters are necrosis, chlorosis, and height of plant included in this research.The sample Leaves, roots and stems are collected from each replicate after aweek, washed, dried weighed, crushed, digested with Aqua Regia and at the endfiltered. The extract was diluted to a specific extent with distilled water andquantitatively measured with Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer. The datacollected was statistically analyzed. Measured the Toxicity level and optimumconditions for plant growth and yield was calculated from the data collected. .
