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...
