dc.description.abstractThe uptake and accumulation of lead, nickel, cadmium, chromium and arsenic in the root, stem leaves and fruits of okra (Ablmoschus esculentus) and pepper (Capsicum annum), and the leaves and root of lettuce (Lactuca sativa) at different metal concentrations in the soil was studied. The physio-chemical properties of the soil indicate: total nitrogen as 0.21%, organic matter 3.32%, cation exchange capacity (CEC) was 17.20 mol/kg, clay 20%, silt 46% and sand 34%. The soil pH was weakly acidic and the textural class was loam. The result obtained for uptake and accumulation showed that different plants had different preferences for each metal at the concentration used. The variation in the concentration of applied metal ion increased.en_US
