PHYTOSTABILIZATION OF LEAD IN Atriplex canescens Pursh, Nutt.

The objective of this research was to analyze the application of phytostabilization techniques in lead-contaminated soil with a potential plant species planted in twelve different percentages of jal to evaluate lead retention in roots. The first study consisted of the evaluation of plant emergence by seeds of Atriplex canescens Pursh, Nutt. The second study evaluated the growth behavior of Atriplex canescens Pursh, Nutt. over time from planting in mining tailings for the comparative phytostabilizing analysis of the plant in soil contaminated by mining tailings from the characterization of substrates, finding average values of lead concentration levels in roots. The scope of this work was carried out under greenhouse conditions to demonstrate that the Atriplex canescens Pursh, Nutt. plant has properties to retain lead in roots, which is why this proposal can be selected for the phytostabilization of contaminated soils for the immobilization of this metal.
