Depending on the treatment, the decrease in the yield ranged between 6.62% and 88.74% in comparison with the control. High soil concentrations of Cd, Pb, Ni, Cu and Zn are confirmed by their contents in the test plant. The contents in Jerusalem was increasing with the level of soil pollution with heavy metals and ranged between 0.65-29.69 mg Cd; 1.40-7.32 mg Pb; 1.76-57.61 mg Ni; 1.65-9.23 mg Cu; 25.04-691.35 mg Zn/kg soil d.m. The smallest diversification of the studied metals contents was registered for lead and copper. A comparison of heavy metal per cent utilisation by Jerusalem reveals that it is possible to arrange the elements in the following order beginning from the highest values: Cd, Zn, Ni, Cu and Pb. The order shows that Jerusalem utilised Cd to the greatest extent and Pb to the smallest. The obtained results allow for a conclusion that Jerusalem artichoke could be utilised for reclamation of soils contaminated with heavy metals.}, type={Artykuł}, title={The Assessment of Jerusalem Artichoke Usability For Phytoremediation of Soils Contaminated with Cd, Pb, Ni, Cu, and Zn}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/123783/PDF/10_AE_VOL_29_4_2003_Antonkiewicz_Ocena.pdf}, keywords={Jerusalem artichoke, phytoremediation, heavy metals, soil}, }
