Effect of adding compost or loam to the sandy soil on helping (murraya paniculata l.) jack plants to overcome the toxicity of some heavy metals [electronic resource].

Includes reference.

Two pot experiments were conducted in the open field at the Experimental Farm of Hort. Res. Inst., Giza, Egypt during 2008 and 2009 seasons to detect the role of application of either compost or loam to sandy soil at the rate of 20% (by volume) in reducing the deleterious effects of lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd) and nickel (Ni) combinations at concentrations of 00.00 ppm for each metal (as a control) (fI), 500 ppm Pb + 50 ppm Cd +25 ppm Ni as treatment number two (fz), and 3-and 5-fold of these concentrations for treatments numbers three (T3) and (T4), respectively on the growth and chemical composition of one-year-old (Murraya paniculata L.) Jack plants grown in 20-cm-diameter black polyethylene bagS filled with 2.5 kg of each ofthe soil mixtures mentioned above.
