Accumulation Characteristics Of Centella Asiatica L. As A Potential Cd-hyperaccumulator In Soil

Researchers are becoming fascinated in using hyperaccumulators for sanitization of heavy metal polluted soils. In this study, Centella asiatica L. has been proposed as a potential cadmium (Cd) hyperaccumulator. A series of pot experiments were conducted in this study. Three groups of treatments were...
