Abstract

Four crop plant species were tested to assess an ecotoxicity in arsenic-amended soils. Test plants were Sorghum bicolor, Cucumis sativus, Triticum aestivum, and Phaseolus radiatus. The presence of arsenic decreased the root and shoot growths. Arsenite was more toxic than arsenate to all test plants. Root growths of Phaseolus radiatus and Cucumis sativus seem to be a good protocol to assess ecotoxicity of soils contaminted by arsenic.
