- Abstract
The article presents a study on distribution of heavy metals in wheat, mustard and weed grown in field irrigated with industrial effluents. Researchers stated that the ratio of metals between soil and plant parts is an important criterion for the selection of plant species for phytoremediation of soils contaminated with high level of heavy metals. Researchers screened 10 different species and found alternanthera sessilis and cynodon dactylon as hyper accumulator of heavy metals from contaminated soil. They suggested the usage of these two plants species for phytoremediation.
