Other claims from this paper (9)
- Intervention effect Cu and Zn amounts were higher in unamended treatments than in amended treatments, indicating immobilization.
- Intervention effect Amendment application tended to decrease Cr amounts in the soil.
- Intervention effect Amendments increased soil pH values.
- Intervention effect Amendments decreased soil EC.
- Observation No relationship was found among pH, EC and plant parameters.
- Observation S. virgata showed germination seed delay.
- Observation The germination index of S. punicea diminished during the assay.
- Recommendation Compost, fertilizer or both combined could be of interest for contaminated soil remediation.
- Method / resource Chemical analysis and phytotoxicity tests together allowed estimation of heavy metal availability and of the effect on Sesbania species.
