Other claims from this paper (10)
- Intervention effect At 50 mg kg−1 arsenic, cassava shoot dry weight declined 50%.
- Observation At four months, R11 had the highest arsenic concentration in roots, 100 mg kg−1.
- Observation At four months, R11 stem arsenic concentration was 9 mg kg−1.
- Observation At four months, R11 had a bioaccumulation coefficient of 2.2.
- Observation Storage roots had lower arsenic concentration, 22 mg kg−1, than adventitious roots.
- Association Nodal root number correlated positively with stem arsenic concentration under high arsenic.
- Association Nodal root number correlated positively with root arsenic concentration under high arsenic.
- Observation Arsenic contamination in cassava starch delayed ethanol fermentation by up to 12 h.
- Observation Arsenic contamination in cassava starch did not significantly change ethanol yield after 36 h.
- Recommendation The authors propose cassava for remediation of arsenic-contaminated soils.
