Abstract
This laboratory study measured growth of one plant species, Lycopersicon esculentum Big Girl (tomato), that is sensitive to the presence of soil contamination, in Kuwait soil amended with crude-oil-contaminated soil. Germinated tomato seeds were placed in containers with soil containing 0, 0.12, 0.24, 0.36, 0.48, 0.60, 1.2, and 2.4% crude oil and were grown in an indoor growth chamber. Plants grew in Kuwait soil containing up to 0.36% crude oil; however, growth and fruit production were compromised at crude oil concentrations greater than 0.12% when compared with control plants. Plants did not grow in Kuwait soil amended with 0.48% crude oil or higher.
本实验室研究测量了一种对土壤污染敏感的植物Lycopersicon esculentum Big Girl(番茄)在科威特用原油污染土壤改良的土壤中的生长情况。将发芽后的番茄种子置于含0、0.12、0.24、0.36、0.48、0.60、1.2和2.4%原油的容器中,在室内生长室中生长。科威特含油量高达0.36%的土壤中生长的植物;但与对照植株相比,原油浓度大于0.12%时,其生长和果实产量受到影响。科威特土壤中掺入0.48%或更高的原油后,植物无法生长。
