Testování orobince širokolistého na zvýšenou salinitu

Abstract

In order to desalinate waters and soils, which are constantly increasing worldwide and complicate the cultivation of crops, this bachelor's thesis examined the phytoremediation ability of the halophytic plants, specifically 13 samples of broadleaf cattail (Typha latifolia). These were planted in self-watering pots and tested for five months. 7 samples were embedded in 0.2-4% NaCl solution, the remaining 6 samples served as blanks. Throughout the experiment, the ability of the samples to cope with saline conditions was monitored by regularly measuring pH, temperature, conductivity, dissolved oxygen concentration, ORP, and chloride concentration in pot solutions with tested samples. At the end of the whole experiment, sodium in the biomass of the samples was analyzed using the AAS method to confirm the phytoremediation ability of the broadlesf cattail (Typha latifolia).
