Note: See the PDF Version
Phytoremediation is a low cost, environment friendly technology of using plants to mitigate hazardous contaminants front the environment (Diislicnkov e/ ml., 1997), Phytoremediation efficiency of selected nine accessions of Indian mustard (Brassica juncea) was examined at different experimental conditions, in vitro and in vivo. Phytoremediation ability of Indian mustard (Brassica juncea) is well established, thus a good candidate plant for Phytoremediation. (Weerakoon and Soniaratne, 2009), This investigation demonstrates Phytoremediation potential of Brassica juncea genotypes for Cr(VI) i mitigation.
