This study investigates the phytoremediation potential of aloe vera, tulsi, and vetiver for heavy metal-contaminated soil. Plants were grown in soil spiked with Cd, Zn, and Pb for 4 weeks, and heavy metal uptake was measured using AAS. Tulsi showed the highest removal efficiency for Zn, Pb, and Cd, followed by vetiver and aloe vera. The findings highlight tulsi's superior remediation ability due to effective uptake and translocation mechanisms, demonstrating phytoremediation as an economical and environmentally sustainable method for heavy metal soil decontamination.
