Other claims from this paper (4)
- Intervention effect DTPA increased heavy metal levels in aboveground biomass.
- Intervention effect NTA applied before sowing had no significant effect on heavy metal uptake.
- Intervention effect Organic acid treatments before sowing had no significant effect on uptake.
- Recommendation The observed extraction was too low for effective phytoextraction under the studied conditions.
