Effects on the metal-contaminated soils on the accumulation of heavy metals in the different parts of centella asiatica: A laboratory study.

Centella asiatica is widely used as a medicinal plant in Malaysia and other parts of the world. In the present study, the growth and uptake of heavy metal by C. asiatica were determined based on the plant exposure to different treatment of metal-contaminated soils under laboratory conditions. Heavy...
