Abstract
The present study deals with the remediation of red mud deposits through the naturally growing native grass species. On the basis of visual observation we noticed that Saccharum bengalense Retz. is a dominant grass species of vegetation on red mud deposits. The results showed that most of the elements are stabilized in root part of the plant except Fe, Zn and Cd. Therefore, it reveals that S. bengalense has the capability for phytostabilization of red mud deposits, is a promising species for the remediation and management of red mud deposits.
