study of the enhanced phytoextraction of cadmium in a calcareous soil

heavy metals such as cadmium mainly enter in the environment and ecosystem as a result of human activities. this study was conducted in order to evaluate the ability of bacterial inoculants to enhance efficiency of phytoextraction in a calcareous soil. three plants (amaranthus retroflexus, helianthus annus and medicago sativa), along with three levels of inoculants and four levels of cd were evaluated. the experiment design was factorial with three replications. the anova results showed that application of inoculants led to significant increase (p
