Abstract

The applications of organic chelators (citric acid, acetic acid, malic acid, oxalic acid, etc) significantly increased metal uptake by various plant species. These acids are easily soluble in water and increased metal mobilization by lowering soil pH. The application of organic acids with energy crops will open new directions in multidisciplinary research approach among researchers.
