This study was conducted to identify phytoremediation potential of vetiver grass (Vetiveria zizanioides) for removal of five heavy metals (Lead (Pb), Zinc (Zn), Iron (Fe), Copper (Cu) and Manganese (Mn)) in controlled running water system. Plants with different root length (10 cm, 20 cm and 30 cm) w...
