Abstract
Relative to heavy metal (HM) excluder plants (French bean, lupin, maize, cereals), HM sequestering crops (buckwheat, beet root species) accumulate up to the 18-fold concentrations of As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb, and Zn as a sum in their shoot tissue. Soil amendment with nitrogen increased HM uptake further. This is a novel treatment to make continuous phytoextraction technologies more efficient without increasing the soil’s leaching rate.
