Prediction Models Founded on Soil Characteristics for the Estimated Uptake of Nine Metals by Okra Plant, <i>Abelmoschus esculentus</i> (L.) Moench., Cultivated in Agricultural Soils Modified with Varying Sewage Sludge Concentrations

Prediction models were developed to estimate the extent to which the metals Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb, and Zn were taken up by the fruits, the leaves, the stems, and the roots of the okra plant, <i>Abelmoschus esculentus</i> (L.) Moench., grown under greenhouse conditions in soil mo...

All the metals under investigation, apart from Cd, were more concentrated in the <i>A. esculentus</i> roots than in any other organ. Overall, the sum of the metal concentration (mg/kg) within the varying plant tissues can be ranked in the following order: roots (13,795.5) > leaves (1252.7) > fruits (489.3) > stems (469.6). For five of the metals (i.e., Cd, Co, Fe, Mn, and Pb), the BCF was <1; for the remaining four metals, the BCF was >1, (i.e., Cr, 1.074; Cu, 1.347; Ni, 1.576; and Zn, 1.031). The metal BCFs were negatively correlated with the pH of the soil and positively correlated with soil OM content.
