Table 4 Measurements of different growth parameters of Datura innoxia plant under two treatments: well water (WW) or sewage water (SW) for 10 weeks. Each value represents a mean value of four replicates ±SE. The observations were recorded on 2 randomly selected plants on plot mean basis analysis per replication per treatment for each correspond week
