Hyper accumulation and soil enrichment of certain inorganic nutrients by some plants from meerut
The Journal of Indian Botanical Society(2017)
Abstract
The present paper aims to investigate the absorption and accumulation potential of some mineral nutrients by the selected plants (Calotropis procera, Cissus quadrangularis and Cassia fistula) from the soil that are also beneficial for human health. The differences in uptake and absorption potential of the minerals (N, P, K, Ca, Na, Cu and Fe) by the plants also demonstrates the varying requirement of these essential minerals for their development as well as their varying potential to act as hyper-accumulators. The study exhibited maximum accumulation of N, Fe and Na content in C. procera (stems) whereas maximum Ca, P, Cu content in C. quadrangularis (leaves) while K content in C. quadrangularis (internodes). All these plants enriched soil with studied minerals except for depletion of Fe by Cassia fistula, P by C. procera and Fe and P both by C. quadrangularis.
