  • Title: [Impact of Cu and Zn pollution on rape growth and soil enzyme activity].
    Author: Yang HF, Yan M, Yao J, Wang YB, Liu DY.
    Journal: Ying Yong Sheng Tai Xue Bao; 2007 Jul; 18(7):1484-90. PubMed ID: 17886639.
    Abstract:
    A pot experiment was conducted to study the impact of Cu and Zn pollution on soil enzyme activities and rape seedlings growth. The results showed that Cu had a stronger inhibitory effect than Zn on soil urease activity, while Zn had more obvious impact on soil calatase activity. The damage on the growth and dry mass of rape was more serious under Cu than under Zn pollution. The inhibition of rape seedlings growth was mainly due to the inhibition of root growth and its material accumulation. Factor analysis indicated that root dry mass was more sensitive than other indices, which could be adopted to monitor soil Cu and Zn pollution.
