Abstract

Phytoremediation is an eco-friendly and has beeen defined as the in situ use of plants to stabilise, remediate, and reduce or restore contaminated soil. Current research was conducted to know the best accumulator plants Forcontaminated agricultural land, of potentially trace elements in soil and plants. Total Fe, Cu, Zn and Pb, have been estimated in soil and plant species of contaminated and control site. Two plants species calotropis procera and solanum nigrum from contaminated and non-contaminated area has been taken. It is revealed that Solanum Nigrum and CalotropisProcera growing in contaminated area can accumulate some of the PTE (Potentially Toxic Elements) like Fe, Cu, Zn and Pb. Surprisingly, naturally grown plants show highly accumulated metals and which can be used as a best accumulator plant species in the heavily contaminated area.We suggest the cultivation of these plants species because it can be used as a best accumulator plant species. This research will show in selection of best plant species for growing in contaminated area
