The use of green plants and associated microbes for environmental remediation has been called phytoremediation. This green technology is being developed for the cleanup/management of metal (loid)-contaminated soils and waters via the processes of phytoextraction, phytovolatization, and phytostabilization. Scientists at the WMRU have determined that potential crops used for the phytoextraction of Se in Central California include members of the Brassica family, e.g., broccoli, canola, and Indian mustard. They hypothesized that by using these types of plants for managing soluble Se from soil and drainage waters, high value products such as Se-enriched animal feed or Se-enriched vegetables can also be produced. In addition, other commodity byproducts can also be generated, such as using extracted oil from canola and mustard seeds for the production of biofuel.
