Use Bottom Sediment to Agriculture—Effect on Plant and Heavy Metal Content in Soil

Removing bottom sediment from water reservoirs and rivers can, on the one hand, be an effective method to restore lakes, other - used for plant production, ensuring recycling of nutrients. The aim this research was evaluate possibilities using various types its impact heavy metal content in soil plants. For purpose, a pot experiment carried out white mustard (Sinapis alba) as test plant. total metals (Cd, Cu, Zn, Pb) determined addition all increased soil. results indicate that adding resulted significant increase yield comparison control. highest result direct effect obtained combination with 5% dam sediment, while residual effect, achieved mixture 10% pond sediment. values transfer factor (TF = Cplant/Csoil) high accumulation zinc low lead
