one of the major problems about the chelant-enhanced phytoextraction is the potential metal leaching associated with chelant application. a glasshouse pot experiment was conducted to investigate phytoextraction efficiency of common reed (phragmites australis (cav.) trin. ex steudel) for lead and chromium and to determine edta (ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid) enhancement of the mobility and phy...

This research was conducted to study the impact of potassium and nitrogen fertilizers on trace element content maize (Zea mays L.). Higher doses fertilizer led a linear increase in cadmium, lead, nickel, zinc, manganese content, lower Fe:Zn Fe:Mn ratios. Moreover, cobalt level increased upon decreased higher potassium. The levels other elements (iron chromium) determined by dose and, particular...

Treatment of soils contaminated with heavy metals using plant species is a method which has been widely used in thepast. This method, which is known as phytoremediation, has been applied for pollution treatment using different plantspecies worldwide. The method has been used for remediation of various types of pollutants in laboratory, pilot andindustrial scales. The aim of this study was to co...
