Chemically assisted phytoremediation has been developing to induce accumulation of metals by high biomass plants. Synthetic chelates have shown high effectiveness to reach such a goal, but they pose serious drawbacks in field application due to the excessive amount of metals solubilized. We compared the performance of synthetic chelates with naturally occurring low molecular weight organic acids (LMWOA) in enhancing phytoextraction of metals by Indian mustard (Brassica juncea) from multi-metal contaminated soils. Gallic and citric acids were able to induce removal of Cd, Zn, Cu. and Ni from soil without increasing the leaching risk. Net removal of these metals caused by LMWOA can be as much is Synthetic chelates, A major reason for this is the lower phytotoxicity of LMWOA. Furthermore, supplying appropriate mineral nutrient,, increased biomass and metal removal. (C) 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
