Case study

  • Copper phytotoxicity in grapevine growing areas

    In an assessment of copper phytotoxicity risks for durum wheat grown on soils with a previous grapevine crop in the Languedoc-Roussillon region, the RHIZOtest has already demonstrated its ability to determine the risk for soils exhibiting a wide range of physico-chemical properties and contamination levels.
  • Phytoaccumulation of trace elements and plant diversity

    Unlike physico-chemical methods, the RHIZOtest is able to determine the phytoavailability of trace elements measured in various plant species. This characteristic enables the RHIZOtest to assess the risk of phytoaccumulation of trace elements presenting a major health risk (e.g. As, Cd and Pb) in the main cultivated species.
