Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect In vetiver, the effect of selenium on all studied traits was significant (P<0.01).
- Intervention effect In vetiver, dry weights of the organs decreased as soil selenium increased.
- Intervention effect In vetiver, selenium concentration in different organs increased as soil selenium increased.
- Intervention effect In alfalfa, dry weights of the organs decreased as soil selenium increased.
- Intervention effect In alfalfa, selenium concentration in different organs increased as soil selenium increased.
- Intervention effect Vetiver had higher selenium concentration in its different organs than alfalfa at every level of soil contamination.
- Association Vetiver had greater transfer and absorption factors in root and aerial parts than Medicago.
- Recommendation Vetiver is a more suitable plant for phytoremediation than alfalfa.
