“…Cobalt accumulation and cobalt tolerance mechanisms are still poorly understood (Lange et al 2017). One of the ways to reduce the content of this metal in the soil and to restore balance in the environment through, inter alia, increasing the availability of other elements with great potential significance, is phytoremediation treatments (Pszczółkowski et al 2012). These treatments often involve the use of energy plants which are not used to produce food (Grzesik and Romanowska-Duda 2009) but also, inter alia, various varieties of mustard which belong to the group of plants known as hyperaccumulators (Baker et al 1994).…”

Aim The study was undertaken to determine the effect of amendments used in remediation of cobalt-contaminated soil on the macroelement content of all organs of spring barley (the main crop) and white mustard (the after-crop). Methods In the experiment, six blocks were selected: without amendments; with manure (bovine, granulated); clay; charcoal; zeolite; and with calcium oxide (50%). In each of the blocks, increasing doses of cobalt were applied: 0, 20, 40, 80, 160, and 320 mg kg−1 of soil. Results Cobalt-contaminated soil and amendments application had a significant effect on macroelement content of all organs of both plants. Conclusions In blocks without amendments, 80 mg Co kg−1 contributed the most increase in nitrogen, sodium, and calcium contents of both organs of spring barley. Cobalt-contaminated soil increased content of all macroelements in white mustard organs. Application of amendments to soil had strong impact on phosphorus, sodium, and calcium contents of organs of both plant species, compared to the control block (without amendments). Among the amendments, manure had the greatest effect on the content of macroelements in plants. Manure increased phosphorus, potassium, and sodium contents of all organs of both plants. The optimal content of macroelements is extremely important for the growth and development of plants, especially on soils contaminated with trace elements, including cobalt.

“…Therefore, it is important to maintain the optimum concentrations of copper in soil and to limit its absorption by plants if its level in soil increases excessively [3,12]. Apart from phytoremediation [13], one of the "in situ" methods involves applying different substances in the soil, whose aim is to limit or neutralise the effect of contaminants [14][15][16]. Organic substances, bentonite, and zeolite are limiting the uptake of trace elements by plants from soil [17].…”

The aim of this study was to determine the effects of copper contamination (0, 50, 100, 150, and 200 mg Cu/kg of soil) and neutralising substances on the content of total organic carbon, total nitrogen, available forms of phosphorus, potassium, and magnesium, and C:N ratio in soil. The experiment was conducted in four series: without neutralising substances and with compost 3% of soil weight, bentonite 2% of soil weight, and zeolite 2% of soil weight. Contamination of soil with copper and the application of the neutralising substances had a significant effect on soil properties. Contamination with copper in the series without substances increased the content of total nitrogen and available phosphorus, potassium, and especially magnesium. Copper also widened the C:N ratio in soil. All of the amendments applied to the soil had the strongest effect on the content of total nitrogen and the C:N ratio in soil. They reduced the content of total nitrogen and widened the C:N ratio. Amendments also increased the content of available magnesium in soil. The effect of the substances applied to soil on the content of the other elements was significantly weaker, as it changed by up to 12%.

“…A significant role is also played by soil properties and climatic conditions characteristic for a given territory (Kashin 2011; Kosiorek and Wyszkowski 2016a, b). It is therefore essential to search for optimal methods to limit cobalt uptake by plants, for example through application of different substances to soil and by using phytoremediation abilities of plants (Pszczółkowski et al 2012). …”

The purpose of this study was to determine the remediation effect of various substances (manure, clay, charcoal, zeolite and calcium oxide) on limiting the influence of high cobalt doses (0, 20, 40, 80, 160 and 320 mg/kg of soil) on the content of macroelements in grain, straw and roots of oat. The doses of cobalt applied in this experiment as well as soil amendments such as manure, clay, charcoal, zeolite and calcium oxide had a significant effect on the content of the analysed macronutrients in grain, straw and roots of oat. In the series without any neutralising substances, the soil contamination with cobalt caused an increase in the content of nitrogen, phosphorus, sodium, calcium and, partly, potassium, in grain, straw and roots of oat. Among the neutralising substances tested, the most unambiguous effect was produced by manure, which raised the content of all macronutrients (except calcium and magnesium) in oat grain, straw and roots. The influence of the other substances on the content of macronutrients in oat plants was less equivocal. However, all of them, especially calcium oxide, tended to induce a decrease in the content of most macronutrients in grain, straw and roots of oat.
