Abstract

        The present study was carried out in order to observe the phytoremediation potential of Chenopodium album grown on sewage irrigated soils.  Soil and plant samples were collected from different sewage irrigated sites (Naini, Buxibandh, Preetam Nagar, Rajapur and Phaphamau) of Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh, India. The analysis of the result showed that Chenopodium album has ability to phytoextract the different concentrations of Cd and Pb varied from 2.35±0.10-2.73±0.08, 2.85±0.10-3.02±0.17, 3.11±0.05-3.60±0.15 and 3.20±0.05-3.92±0.13, 3.86±0.09-4.59±0.08, 4.65±0.11-5.36±0.16 mg/kg in leaves, shoot and root respectively. The results shows the maximum potential of accumulation of Pb 5.36±0.16   mg/kg followed by Cd 3.60±0.15  mg/kg in Naini sewage irrigated site. The maximum dry biomass yield of Chenopodium album plants were recorded in Phaphamau sewage irrigated site of Cd and Pb polluted soils ranging from 1068.14±8.09 and 1083.30±3.15 g/m2 respectively while the minimum dry biomass yield as 914.58±2 and 988.46±1.40 g/m2 were recorded from Cd and Pb polluted soils in Naini sewage irrigated site. Furthermore, their bioconcentration factor (BCF) and translocation factor (TF) >1.0 indicated the hyper accumulation efficiency of plants ranges of Cd and Pb were recorded 1.98±0.11-2.04±0.10, 2.52±0.12-2.62±0.07 and 1.09±0.08-1.19±0.11, 1.14±0.12-1.20±0.08 mg/kg respectively. Thus, this study will be helpful for the decontamination of highly sewage irrigated affected soils.
