- The study examined the growth of two plant species, Conocarpus erectus and Dodonaea viscosa, when grown in varying proportions of industrial solid waste and garden soil.
- C. erectus demonstrated superior growth and ion uptake compared to D. viscosa, particularly at a 5% industrial waste ratio, with significant growth increases noted over four months.
- The research identified optimal soil ratios for establishing these plants on barren lands contaminated with industrial waste, suggesting a 10:90 ratio for D. viscosa and 20:80 for C. erectus to enhance restoration efforts in industrial areas.
