Other claims from this paper (11)
- Intervention effect EDTA increased wheat shoot biomass.
- Intervention effect Sulfur increased wheat shoot biomass.
- Intervention effect High rate citric acid significantly lowered wheat biomass.
- Intervention effect EDTA increased photosynthesis and transpiration.
- Intervention effect Sulfur increased photosynthesis and transpiration.
- Intervention effect Citric acid decreased photosynthesis and transpiration.
- Intervention effect Sulfur did not enhance lead concentration in wheat shoots.
- Intervention effect Citric acid did not increase lead solubility at experiment end.
- Intervention effect Citric acid enhanced wheat shoot lead concentration more than EDTA.
- Mechanism Authors suggest elevated soil manganese after citric acid could explain unusual wheat lead concentration.
- Recommendation The authors recommend the highest citric acid dose for wheat lead phytoextraction under the tested conditions.
