Abstract
Present work was carried out to check the feasibility of TS by the application in GS with the objective to examine the influence of amendment on the soil as well as on plant (C. procera and L. camara) grown in amended soil. For this purpose 0%, 5%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 50%, 75% and 100% of GS amended with TS and samples were investigated for physicochemical and heavy metal status of soil. The effect of amendments on seed germination, shoot, root and total biomass along with heavy metal accumulation by plants and their caliber to use in phytotechnique were also sought. pH, EC, OC%, available N, P, K, exchangeable Ca and Mg and heavy metal content in amendments increased in accordance with TS. All selected parameters measured for plant growth and development increased significantly till 20% amendment after that there was retardation in data except total heavy metal accumulation by plants. BCF >1 was calculated for C. procera with TF<1 whereas both were <1 for L.camara, which indicate its potential for retention of Cr and advocate that C. procera is a better candidate to consider as phytostabilizer of Cr from TS.
