Pot experiments conducted randomized blocks design with 3 replications. Sewage sludge/soil mixtures (w/w) was arranged: 0% SS+%100 soil (control), 3% SS+ 97% soil (3 % SS), 6% SS+94 % soil (6% SS) and 9% SS +91% soil (9% SS). According to BAC values Marigold can be for Zn, Cd and Garden verbena can be hyperaccumulator plant for Zn element. Marigold and garden verbena, the greatest N, P, K, Mg, and Ca plant nutrients were respectively obtained from 9% SS and 6% SS treatments. Marigold, the greatest Na concentration (784 mg kg-1) was obtained from 9% SS, Fe (2236 mg kg-1) 9% SS, Cu (7.4 mg kg-1) 9% SS, Zn (136 mg kg-1) 6% SS, Mn (142 mg kg-1) 6% SS and B (42 mg kg-1) control treatments. Garden verbena, the greatest Na concentration (696 mg kg-1), was obtained at 6% SS, Fe (1700 mg kg-1) 6% SS, Cu (12 mg kg-1) 6% SS, Zn (115 mg kg-1) 6% SS, Mn (100 mg kg-1) 3% SS and B (47 mg kg-1) control treatments. Heavy metals (Ni, Cd, Cr, Pb, As and Hg) toxicity impacts were not encountered on marigold and garden verbena plants. Soil heavy metal (Ni, Cd, Pb, As and Hg) levels were below the threshold values.en10.18016/ksutarimdoga.vi.000000info:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessHeavy MetalSewage SludgeBioconcentration FactorPlant NutrientsOrnamental PlantsBioaccumulationPhytoremediationDegradationCompostGrowthYieldLandArticle261161171N/AWOS:000933728300019
