Uptake of Heavy Metals by Water Spinach from Sludge Amended Soils

Palm oil mill sludge is generated in great amount in Malaysia and being disposed off by land application. This study aimed to determine the uptake of heavy metals namely chromium, cadmium, copper, zinc, iron, manganese and nickel by water spinach from sludge amended soils. Five different treatments...
