Phytoremediation is an altemative technology to remove heavy metals in contaminated soil. Vetiver grass (Vetiveria zizanioides (Linn.) Nash) was used for Cadmium (Cd) and Lead (Pb) · removal experiments in 4 various soil types: {SI) sandy soil with abundant organic matter; (82) sandy soil with poor organic matter; (83) clay soil with abundant organic matter; (84) clay soil with poor organic matter. Plants were grown for 30 days before transferring to experimental pots. Pb(N03)2 solution was added to Ihe soil types in each experimental pot at O, 100, 300 and 700ppm; similarly CdC12 : O, l O, 30 and 60ppm
