Phytoaccumulation of zinc and its associated impact on the growth performance and tolerance index of six non-food crop plants grown in Zn-contaminated soil.

Crop plant remediation and detoxification of Zn-contaminated soils may pose a significant threat to food safety and, thus, human health. Therefore, the current study was carried out to assess the ability of six non-food crop plants (NFCP); Zea mays L. cultivar 360 (T360), Z.
