Among the many plants that can absorb Pb, Zea mais has the largest biomass. With a lower biomass we have Brassica juncea and Noccaea rotundifolia. One can increase the uptake of Pb (for small surfaces) by adding to the soil chelating agents such as EDTA. Addition of phosphorous presents also one advantage since the presence of Pb prevents the uptake of Phosphorous.
