Verbatim
e4“The growth performance of J. curcas was improved due to the increase in soil pH and decrease in phytoavailable soil A1 (95%), Zn (approximately 75%), and Cu (approximately 65%) contents at 0.50% of lime addition”
e5“Based on the inherent tolerance ability of J. curcas in existing adverse environmental conditions without liming, it could be used as a suitable candidate for phytostabilization in acid mine tailings”

Other claims from this paper (8)
- Observation Metal accumulation in J. curcas followed the order roots>stems>leaves.
- Observation Jatropha curcas grown in T1 moderately contaminated acid mine soil had a higher tolerance index (>90%) with no phytotoxic symptoms or growth reduction.
- Mechanism Enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidants are actively involved in the metal defense mechanism of J. curcas.
- Observation Soil pH increased with 0.50% lime addition in J. curcas soils.
- Observation Phytoavailable soil A1 decreased by 95% at 0.50% lime addition in J. curcas soils.
- Observation Zn decreased by approximately 75% at 0.50% lime addition in J. curcas soils.
- Observation Cu decreased by approximately 65% at 0.50% lime addition in J. curcas soils.
- Recommendation J. curcas could be used as a suitable candidate for phytostabilization in acid mine tailings.
