Phytoremediation is an efficient method for managing toxic elements in contaminated soils. This study assessed the ability of three Brassica genotypes to remediate Cd contaminated soils, with results showing that B. juncea was the most tolerant genotype and had the highest biomass production and Cd accumulation. The findings suggest that B. juncea has the potential to be used for decontamination of Cd spiked soils and prevent its entry into the food chain.
Phytoremediation acts as an efficient methodology for management of toxic elements spiked soils. The accumulation and tolerance potential of hyper-accumulator plants for toxic elements act as an index for in-situ removal of toxic elements. Extraction of cadmium (Cd) through its accumulation in harvestable parts of plants has attracted attention as the economic and environment friendly technique. Brassica genotypes have greater potential to accumulate Cd when grown in Cd spiked soils. Therefore, for evaluation of comparative efficiency of three Brassica genotypes (B. juncea, B. campestris and B. napus) in phytoremediation of Cd spiked soils, a pot study was carried out in Cd contaminated soil with 6 levels as 0, 5, 10, 20, 40, and 80 mg kg(-1) soil. Results indicated that dry biomass production of Brassica genotypes declined with the enhanced Cd contamination in soil. The reduction in grain and shoot yield varied from 2.87 to 1.85 and 11.85 to 8.00 g pot-1 with increased Cd contamination from 5 to 80 mg kg(-1) soil. Similarly, increased levels of Cd contamination resulted in enhanced concentration and accumulation in grains as well as shoots of all Brassica genotypes. Among Brassica genotypes, B. juncea recorded the highest production of dry biomass (12.8 g pot(-1)), Cd accumulation (736.0 mu g pot(-1)). Also, the bioaccumulation coefficient and tolerance index indicated that B. juncea is the most tolerant genotype to Cd contamination in soil. Therefore, B. juncea could act as the most potential genotypes for decontamination of Cd spiked soils by preventing its entry into food chain.
