Evaluation of Phytoremediation Potential of Castor Cultivars for Heavy Metals from Soil Open
Phytoremediation is a useful tool to restore heavy metals contaminated soils. This study was carried out to test two castor (Ricinus communis) cultivars [Local and DS-30] for phytoextraction of heavy metals from the soil spiked by known co…
