PESTICIDE DETOXICATION USING PLANTS

The authors study the species saturation of phytocoenosis in the places of pesticide storage. The places with growing plants species are chosen in pollution focus and within a radius of 100 m using random sampling technique. Estimation criteria were rates of phytoextraction and detoxication. The first criterion depends directly from initial pollution and standing population. Detoxication takes place due to remedy ability of plants to decrease their content in soil by magnification in their tissues. The decrease of pesticide toxicity with distance from the center of contagion has an influence not only on species composition, but also on the scheme of jointly growing plants.
