According to previous studies,amaranth can absorb heavy metal pollutants in soil.For this reason,eight different amaranth varieties were selected as experimental objects,and typical cultivated land in Hunan Province was used as experimental soil to study the absorption of heavy metals in soil by amaranth.The results are as follows:(1)Amaranth can absorb many kinds of heavy metals in cultivated land to a certain extent,so that the content of heavy metals in soil decreases.The descending rates are manganese(Mn)>cadmium(Cd)>arsenic(As)>lead(Pb)>mercury(Hg)>chromium(Cr);(2)the contents of heavy me...
