Impact of Heavy Metal Stress on Growth, Nutrient Status, and Oil Potential of Crambe Abyssinica and Brassica Carinata in an Intercropping System

Short Introductive summary

The study explores the cultivation of the oilseed crops Crambe abyssinica and Brassica carinata on metal-contaminated soils as a sustainable approach to biofuel production. By testing their growth and yield under Zn, Cd, Pb, and Ni contamination, the work identifies C. abyssinica as a tolerant species suitable for phytoremediation and B. carinata as a productive feedstock for bioenergy, supporting strategies that integrate soil recovery with renewable fuel generation.
