Abstract :Different hyperaccumulator plants growing in the same contaminated soil may have excessive accumulation of different metals or produce biomass. Therefore, it is important to determine the ability of the plant to improve the soil under natural conditions in the improvement of heavy metal-contaminated lands with hyperaccumulator plants. This study focused on the phytoremediation and biomass production capabilities of Artemisa Dracunculus L. and Erigeron Canadensis plants. Considering this fact, Erigeron Canadensis was determined to have the highest phytoextraction potential between the two plants, as it produces more biomass insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(96%); and mineral content insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(169%); than Artemisa Dracunculus L. This shows that Erigeron Canadensis has more phytoremediation potential than Artemisa Dracunculus L. and that Erigeron Canadensis plant is one of the alternative hyperaccumulator plant candidates and is more effective for soil reclamation. In addition, when the plants were categorized according to their BAF values, accumulator insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(1 Keywords : heavy metals, Cd, Ni, Translocation Factor, bioaccumulation Factor
