Other claims from this paper (9)
- Intervention effect EDDS increased Zibo-3 biomass by 28.8%.
- Intervention effect EDDS increased Zibo-9 biomass by 59.4%.
- Intervention effect Citric acid inhibited growth of both cultivars.
- Observation Zibo-9 tolerated chelate toxicity better than Zibo-3.
- Recommendation EDDS could replace EDTA for cadmium phytoremediation.
- Observation EDTA was the most effective chelate for lead phytoremediation.
- Recommendation The authors judged EDTA less suitable for field use due to toxicology and persistence.
- Association Acid-extractable rhizosphere Cd and Pb influenced castor bean metal accumulation.
- Association Reducible non-rhizosphere Cd and Pb influenced castor bean metal accumulation.
