Abstract: Phytoremediation is an attractive option to remove metal from contaminated soil since it is a simple, low-cost, and environmentally friendly procedure. To better examine the phytoremediation potential of kenaf (Hybiscus canabinnus), mustard (Brassica juncea), turnip (Raphunus sativus) and amaranth (Amaranthus crentus) plants, a greenhouse experiment was performed in which these species were grown on a soil contaminated with Zn, Cu, Mn, Pb and B. The translocation, the bioconcentration and the removal index, th… Show more

“…The following plant species: sunflowers (Helianthus annuus L.), oilseed radish (Raphanus sativus L.), and castor oil plants (Ricinus communis L.) were selected for the experiment due to previous works showing them to be tolerant to high concentration of heavy metals and boron in soil [21][22][23][24].…”

Bañuelos et al (1993a) found that Indian mustard (Brassica juncea), tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea), bird's-foot trefoil (Lotus corniculatus), and kenaf (Hibiscus cannibinus) reduced extractable soil boron by 52% in field experiments.…”

“…O cobre, quando em altas concentrações no solo, pode diminuir a produção de plantas e ainda se acumular na cadeia alimentar (Santos et al, 2010). Além disto, pode oferecer riscos de contaminação de águas superficiais e subsuperficiais (Nowack et al, 2006).…”
