Seeds of Cassia angustifolia Vahl., treated with various concentrations (0, 0.1, 0.15, 0.2 and 0.25 %) of Mancozeb, a broad-spectrum contact fungicide, were sown in field conditions to study the effect of the treatments on lipid peroxidation, proline accumulation and modulation of antioxidant system of seedlings obtained. Significant increase over the control was observed in treated plants for thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances content (up to 207 %), proline content (96 %) and total glutathione content (144 %), whereas the total ascorbate content decreased by 44 %. Increased enzymatic activity was recorded for ascorbate peroxidase (63 %), glutathione reductase (154 %) and superoxide dismutase (109 %), whereas catalase activity decreased by 58 % with 0.25 % Mancozeb treatment. The changes observed were dose-dependent, showing a strong correlation with the level of treatment.
