Abstract
In the experiment carried out in the vegetation hall the possibility of using Silphium perfoliatum L. in phytoremediation of soils contaminated with lead and cadmium was studied. It was shown that this species has taken up a small quantity of lead during one growing season and that there was no change in cadmium content in the plants throughout the experiment. Silphium perfoliatum accumulated from 10.77 to 29.26 mg Pb·kg-1 d.m. in the aboveground vegetative parts. These values were significantly higher than those measured for plants used as the control. Significant decrease in the yield of plant fresh weight with increasing doses of lead and cadmium was recorded. The results indicate that usefulness of Silphium perfoliatum in the process of phytoremediation is rather limited.
