Other claims from this paper (12)
- Intervention effect Co and Cr adversely affected alfalfa leaf chlorophyll.
- Intervention effect Co and Cr adversely affected alfalfa photosynthetic activity.
- Intervention effect Co and Cr generated oxidative stress in alfalfa.
- Intervention effect Increasing Co and Cr suppressed alfalfa antioxidant enzymes.
- Intervention effect Increasing Co and Cr decreased alfalfa carbohydrate, protein and RNA content.
- Intervention effect Increasing Co and Cr increased alfalfa lipid peroxidation.
- Intervention effect Increasing Co and Cr increased alfalfa electrolyte leakage.
- Intervention effect Higher Co and Cr concentrations affected alfalfa nutrient uptake.
- Intervention effect Precipitation pretreatment reduced heavy metal inhibition of alfalfa growth and metabolism.
- Intervention effect EDTA pretreatment reduced heavy metal inhibition of alfalfa growth and metabolism.
- Mechanism Precipitation was more effective because it removed heavy metals from irrigation water.
- Recommendation The authors recommend water treatments to mitigate heavy metal harm.
