Efficacy of biochar on the phytoremediation potential of Tithonia diversifolia on spent oilcontaminated soil

Abstract

The application of biochar has gained attention as a simple, affordable and sustainable strategy for the remediation of contaminated soils. However, the phytoremediation potential of certain plants and interactions with biochar are necessary to achieve effective environmental clean-up. This study evaluated the influence of biochar on the remediation potential of Tithonia diversifolia grown in spent oil-contaminated soil.
