The use of plant species to remove pollutants from soils, generally defined as phytoextraction. In order to evaluate phytoextraction of contaminated soils, a pot experiment conducted using two plants Barley, Canola three kinds of heavy metals (Cd, Pb, Ni) with 3 levels in a completely randomized factorial design with three replications. A reverse relationship was found between heavy metal concentration in treatments and biomass production of selected plants. Uptake Index showed that Canola had a better potential for Cadmium, Lead and Nickel phytoextraction.}, keywords = {Cadmium,Lead,Nickel,Phytoextraction}, url = {https://www.ijabbr.com/article_7298.html}, eprint = {https://www.ijabbr.com/article_7298_ebac5a84345dd1246e2b3ee7654051ad.pdf} }
