Heavy metals accumulation in crops and soils poses a significant threat to the human health. A study was carried out in 2016 in order to assess hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) ability to accumulate heavy metals and to reveal its possibility as a phytoaccumulator or phytostabilizer. Two soil types from Croatia were used in experimental pots: Gleysoils (alkaline soil) and Stagnic Luvisol (acid soil). Majority of the varieties accumulated more heavy metals in roots than in above-ground biomass. Removal of Cd, Ni, Pb, Hg, Co, Mo and As was higher in acid soil. Potential ability for phytostabilization was observed in alkaline soil in order Cu>Cr> Cd>Mo>Hg>Zn>Ni>Co>As>Pb, while for acid soil in order Zn>Cd>Cr>Ni>Hg>Cu> Mo>As>Co>Pb. Some varieties exhibited a translocation coefficient (TC) more than 1 and shown the ability of hyper-accumulation for Zn, Hg, Mo and Cd. Higher accumulation of heavy metals in some varieties could lead to their general application for phytoaccumulation of heavy metals from polluted soils.

Istrazivanje je provedeno 2016. godine kako bi se procijenila sposobnost konoplje [Cannabis sativa L.) za akumulaciju teskih metala i njene mogucnosti kao fitokakumulatora ili fitostabilizatora. U eksperimentalnim posudama upotrijebljene su dvije vrste tla iz Hrvatske: glejno (alkalno tlo) i luvisol (kiselo tlo). Vecina vrsta nakupila je vise teskih metala u korijenu nego u biomasi iznad zemlje. Akumulacija Cd, Ni, Pb, Hg, Co, Mo i As bila je veca u kiselom tlu. Potencijalna sposobnost za fitostabilizaciju zabiljezena je u alkalnom tlu kako slijedi: Cu>Cr>Cd>Mo>Hg>Zn> Ni>Co>As>Pb, dok je za kiselo tlo kako slijedi: Zn>Cd>Cr>Ni>Hg>Cu>Mo> As>Co>Pb. Neke su vrste pokazale koeficijent translokacije (TC) veci od 1 i sposobnost hiperakumulacije za Zn, Hg, Mo i Cd. Veca nakupljanja teskih metala u nekim vrstama mogla bi dovesti do njihove opce primjene za fitoakumulaciju teskih metala iz zagadenih tala.
