EVALUATION OF PHYTOREMEDIATION POTENTIAL OF ROSEMARY PLANT IN CONTAMINATED SOILS WITH CADMIUM ......

Two Greenhouse pot culture experiments were undertaken in Fars Education Center of Jahad-e-Agriculture- Aliabad Kamin to evaluate the Phytoremediation capacity of Rosemary plant in contaminated soils with Cadmium and Zinc. Soil cadmium was tested at six levels (0, 10, 20, 40, 80, and 160 ppm) while zinc was tested at six levels (0, 10, 20, 40, 80, and 160 ppm) (0, 25, 50, 100, 200 and 400 ppm). Three times each therapy was carried out. Cadmium sulphate and zinc sulphate were employed to contaminate soil samples in this investigation, with various amounts of salts dissolved in distilled water and sprayed over the soil. The findings revealed that as cadmium and zinc concentrations in soil grew, so did cadmium and zinc concentrations in water.
