Abstract

Phytoremediation involves the use of plants to remove contaminants in situ from various natural resources such as soil, silt, sediment, and groundwater. Phytoremediation offers promising prospects for the removal of various pollutants from soil as it offers many benefits and removes pollutants from soil without affecting soil properties. In this context, it was also of interest for farmers to know which local plant varieties of Parasamaniya Platue have the potential for Phytoremediation. As Brassica comprestis is of interest to farmers, there is still no scientific knowledge on the balance between crop efficacy and soil properties for the local varieties of Parasamaniya Platue. Therefore, it is important to evaluate soil quality and its effects on the physiology of crop varieties grown in the area. In addition, the field soils and selected Brassica comprestis crops have different metal contents such as K, Cu, Fe, Mn, Cd, Pb, and Zn, suggesting that Brassica comprestis (mustard), a regional crop, has the potential to remediate heavy metal ions.
