Abstract
Abstract
Brassica juncea was grown in dumpsite soil contaminated with lead (Pb) at the rate of 130 mg/kg, zinc (Zn) at the rate of 147 mg/kg, copper (Cu) at the rate of 50mg/kg, Pb+EDTA, Zn+EDTA and Cu+EDTA, respectively to determine uptake pattern of Pb, Zn and Cu and their translocation efficiency. Uptake trend of heavy metals was Pb > Cu > Zn in shoots followed by roots. The highest translocation factor (TF) was observed in Pb+EDTA contaminated soil 15.17 (unit less) while the lowest TF was recorded with Zn contaminated soil 1.20 (unit less). Application of EDTA with each toxic metal enhanced uptake ability of plants. Thus, removal efficiency of Pb and Cu from contaminated dumpsite soil is appreciably higher in Brassica juncia. Application of Ethylene diamine tetra-acetic acid (EDTA) can increase heavy metals concentration in Brassica juncia which has high potential as phytoextraction in contaminated soils.
