Amendments for enhancing phytoextraction potential of marigold (Tagetes erecta L.) in heavy metal polluted soil: effects on crop growth, physiological and biochemical responses.
To enhance phytoextraction potential of marigold (Tagetes erecta L. var. Pusa Bahar), an attempt was made to increase the bioavailability of heavy-metals in a polluted-soil through organic amendments and microbial inoculant. The study evaluated the effectiveness of farmyard manure (FYM), green-manure (Sesbania sp.) and...
