Effects of chromium ore tailings on growth and physiological activities of mesua ferrea l.
Journal Title: Scientia Agriculturae - Year 2015, Vol 12, Issue 1
Abstract
A greenhouse pot experiment was conducted to evaluate the feasibility of using a native ornamental plant, Mesua ferrea L. as phytostabilizer for chromium ore tailings (COT) and to assess the metal accumulation capacity. Different ratio of soil and COT were taken in pots and seeded with seeds of M. ferrea L. Plants were harvested at various intervals and separated into roots and shoots for metal concentrations analysis and physiological characteristics of the plants. The study revealed that the plant has great tolerance and stronger ability to accumulate Cr. The accumulation of Cr was higher in root in compare to shoot. Chromium ore tailings amended with 20% soil show M. ferra has good potential as a native species candidate for phytostabilization of mine tailings.
