Comparative examination of root length in Trifolium pratense cultivars (Salino, Rozeta, and Altaswede) exposed to asbestos-contaminated irrigation water. Significant reductions in root length were observed at both 1 mg/l and 50 mg/l concentrations (p ≤ 0.05), with greater inhibition at higher doses. The reduction was most prominent in the 50 mg/l dose, where root length was reduced to 47.6% (Salino), 47.8% (Rozeta), and 54.5% (Altaswede) compared to the control group.
