Abstract
Soil pollution due to heavy metal contamination it has become one of the most serious issue today. Treatment of heavy metal contaminated soil is one of the most important area of environmental restoration. Phytoremediation proves to be successful for the remediation of soil fundamentally dependent upon suitable plant species. The present study conducted on a Canna indica belongs to the family of Cannaceae. A pot study was conducted and plant was subjected to different concentrations of heavy metal i.e., Control, 40 mg/kg, 80 mg/kg and 100 mg/kg, with the aim to assess metal uptake and accumulation factor. Mix metal treatments of heavy metal Chromium, Cadmium, Copper, and lead was given to plant and exposure time of heavy metals on plant was 30 days. After harvesting its heavy metal analysis was done from leaf, stem and roots. It was found that treatments were highly significantly (p < 0.05) under pot trails. It has accumulated 100.8 mg/kg of lead, 187.8 mg/kg of chromium, 153.4 mg/kg of copper and 25.76 mg/kg of cadmium. It can be concluded that Canna indica can accumulate Pb, Cr and Cu.
