A plant-derived compound activating agent enhances cadmium phytoextraction by Lantana Camara L.

ABSTRACT: Agent-assisted phytoextraction is an attractive strategy to remove heavy metals from soil. However, there is a lack of effective and sustainable agents. In this study, 10 types of plant extracts were extracted and selected to combined with N, N-bis (carboxymethyl) glutamic acid (GLDA) to prepare the compound activating agent, and its effectiveness and potential risk in enhancing Cd phytoextraction by Lantana camara L. (L. camara) were evaluated. Among the 10 plant extracts, Houttuynia cordata Thunb. extract (HC) showed the highest Cd extraction ability (24.58%). When combined with GLDA (0.9%) in a 1:1 volume ratio, the compound activating agent removed Cd most effectively (79.23%) from soil. In the pot experiment, this agent increased the shoot biomass, Cd concentration, and accumulation i
