The invention discloses a method using
Artemisia selengensis to remedy soil mildly and moderately polluted by heavy
metal. The method includes the steps of firstly, selecting
Artemisia selengensis variety; secondly, preparing a field, to be more specific, applying thoroughly decomposed
organic fertilizer, evenly raking and flatly ploughing soil and the
fertilizer, and ridging; thirdly, performingpre-emergence weeding, to be more specific, spraying a pre-emergence herbicide before cuttage, and performing soil spraying
processing; fourthly, raising seedlings by
cutting, to be more specific, collecting robust
Artemisia selengensis branches from the field,
cutting off leaves and tender shoots on the middle and lower portion, compacting the soil after the cuttage, and watering to allow the
water content of the soil to be saturated; fifthly, performing water management, to be more specific, keeping the field moist due to the fact that
Artemisia selengensis is a
wetland plant and is intolerant to drought; sixthly, performing field weeding, to be more specific, performing manual weeding to remove
cyperaceae and dicotyledonous weeds; seventhly, performing
disease and
pest control; eighthly, harvesting the overground part of
Artemisia selengensis, and removing withered branches and leaves from the field; ninthly, performing harmless treatment on the harvested
Artemisia selengensis. Themethod is practicable, simple to operate, low in cost, high in heavy
metal removing efficiency and capable of satisfying the remediation and treatment requirements of the soil mildly and moderately polluted by heavy
metal in southern China.
