Influence of electrical conductivity on the phytoremediation of contaminated soils to Cd 2+ and Zn 2+

Aims: This research was conducted to study the effects of the electrical conductivity (EC) of irrigation water and compost on the Cadmium (Cd) and Zinc (Zn) uptake by sunflower, Helianthus annuus. The transfer of Cd and Zn from soils close to the Zn mine, to the sunflower tissues, and the interactio...
