“…Может оказаться перспективным приготовление контейнерных субстратов для использования в лесопитомниках из растений -биофильтров, обогащенных загрязняющими веществами, в том числе ТМ [36]. Способы фиторемедиации почвы от тяжелых металлов (ТМ), основанные на способности отдельных растений накапливать их в значительных количествах в органах, активно разрабатываются [50]. Внедрение метода неизбежно приведет к проблеме их утилизации.…”

To widely introduce the technology of container nursery of coniferous stocking material, which provides for establishment of forest crops using high-quality plants, one needs to produce container substrates with optimized physicochemical properties, which guarantee normal development of the root system and relevant nutrition for the plants. Criteria for assessing the quality of such substrates, some of their applications, stages of their development history are considered. A substrate of raised bog sphagnum peat has traditionally been regarded as the best option for growing seedlings in forest nurseries. Lately however great funds and efforts have been invested in designing and testing alternative substrate components in the attempt to reduce transport costs and avoid the environmental consequences of peat harvesting. Any potential substitute for peat must have certain characteristics, be available in substantial amounts, standardized and economically compatible with the intended market. Of the many alternatives to peat, the most firmly adopted are some composted biowastes, bark and composted bark, wood fibers and coconut wastes. Applicability of woody substrates as an alternative to peat has been demonstrated, but in that case fertilizers need to be added. If peat is not included in the substrate, the fertilizer supplementation should be at least 40 percent. Pulp-and-paper mills have the equipment for processing logs, small

In this study an ornamental plant of Althaea rosea Cavan was investigated for its potential use in the removal of Cd, Ni, Pb and Cu from an artificially contaminated soil. Effect of two different chelating agents on the removal has also been studied by using EDTA (ethylenediaminetetracetic acid) and TA (tannic acid). Both EDTA and TA have led to higher heavy metal concentration in shoots and leaves compared to control plants. However EDTA is generally known as an effective agent in metal solubilisation of soil, in this study, TA was found more effective to induce metal accumulation in Althaea rosea Cavan under the studied conditions. In addition to this, EDTA is toxic to some species and restraining the growth of the plants. The higher BCF (Bio Concentration Factor) and TF (Translocation Factor) values obtained from stems and leaves by the effects of the chemical enhancers (EDTA and TA) show that Althaea rosea Cavan is a hyper accumulator for the studied metals and may be cultivated to clean the contaminated soils.
