“…Evaluating soil-to-hemp transfer factors (TFs) for individual contaminants can help guide the best use of the hemp biomass following phytoremediation. TFs are the ratio of concentration in plants to concentration in soil for a particular species (Sakizadeh et al, 2016); these can vary for different parts of the plant (e.g., seeds vs. stems). Some work has used hemp TFs to estimate soil contamination limits that still allow for use of the harvested biomass.…”

“…Bio-concentration factor (BCF) or transfer factor (TF) is defined as the ratio of total metal concentration in the harvested tissues (barks, leaves and wood rings in the present study) and metal concentration in the soil [26]. In previous studies, BCF has been used to estimate the ability of plants to accumulate certain heavy metals absorbed from soil [27,28].…”

The boom of tanneries in north India has converted the river Ganga into a waste dumping stream. The tanneries discharge their heavy metal-rich effluents into the river. Tissues of two-year-old tree saplings of Dalbergia sissoo, soil sediments and river water samples were collected from three sites along the river Ganga at Jajmau, Kanpur. Site-1 was located 1 km upstream from the point of discharge of the effluents of the tanneries, Site-2 was close to the source point, and Site-3 was about 1 km downstream from the source point. Accumulation of Cu, Cr and Ni in leaves, bark, wood growth rings, soil sediments and water samples was estimated using an atomic absorption spectrophotometer. The tissues of the two-year-old wood growth rings of D. sissoo accumulated large amounts of Cr, Cu and Ni. The Cr concentration in leaves, bark and wood rings had a strong, positive and linear correlation (r 2 ) with the Cr concentration in soil sediments. The bioconcentration factors (BCFs) of Cr, Cu and Ni were higher than 1 in the wood, bark and leaves at all three selected sites, indicating the strong phytoremediating ability of the tree. The uptake of Cr and Ni was consistent in the bark and wood growth rings of two successive years. Owing to the strong uptake and accumulating abilities of Cr, Cu and Ni as evident from high BCF values and high biomass, we propose D. sissoo as a suitable species for phytoremediation throughout its range of distribution in Africa, Asia and the Americas.

“…Selenium concentrations in upper parts of plants (e.g. leaves, grains, fruits) were higher than in the stem (Sakizadeh et al 2016), indicating seasonal fluctuation of selenium content in plants (Galeas et al 2007). Typically, selenium concentration in younger leaves of plants is higher than in the older ones or in the seeds (Cappa et al 2014).…”

A two-year field study was conducted to determine the effect of different Se fertiliser application methods and application rates on the selenium content in maize plants. Selenium as sodium selenate was added into soil (10 g and 20 g Se ha-1) or sprayed on maize plants (20 g Se ha-1). Maize plants from control treatment contained 0.018 and 0.020 mg Se kg DM-1 in the first and the second year of the study. Foliar application exhibited superior effect by increasing selenium content in the plants up to 0.343 mg kg DM-1 in the first year, and 0.249 mg kg DM-1 in the second. Soil selenium application was less effective; selenium content in maize plants varied from 0.018 to 0.019 mg kg DM-1 in the first and from 0.018 to 0.145 mg kg DM-1 in the second year, respectively. Strong linear correlation (r=0.71) was found between selenium content in the plants and in grains. Selenium recovery rates were significantly higher in case of foliar treatment compared to soil application.
