Grass Vetiveria zizanioides (L.) Nash for Immobilization of Copper in the Orange-growing Soil Contaminated by the Overuse of Fungicides: A Casestudy at Cao Phong, Hoa Binh
Abstract:The overuse of copper (Cu) fungicides has resulted in an accumulation of Cu in the orange-growing soil in Cao Phong district, Hoa Binh province. In this study, we analyzed the fractionation and accumulation of Cu in soils treated with two types of fungicides: Norshield 86.2WG and Epolists 85WP. Using vetiver grass has been known as a approach to immobilize heavy metals in soil, herein, its effect on the fate of Cu was also considered. The bioavailability of Cu was relatively high for both the tested soils tre… Show more
