Abstract

---

Phytoextraction is gaining great attention as an alternative technique for remediation of heavy metal contaminated soils. A greenhouse study was conducted to assess heavy metal (Cd, Pb, and Zn) accumulation in three weed species viz., Avena sterils, Isatis tinctoria and Xanthium strumarium. A range of phytoavailable Cd, Pb and Zn concentrations in soils was created by applications of five different levels of Cd (0
