The aromatic plants / essential oils sector for the phytomanagement of soils polluted by TMEs

Come and discover the main achievements of the PHYTEO project financed by ADEME (APR Graine 2016), led by ULCO while relying on a transdisciplinary academic, private and institutional partnership. It proposes an eco-innovative process for the non-food use of plant biomass produced on agricultural soils polluted by trace metal elements (TMEs) on the Metaleurop workshop site. The aim was to set up large-scale demonstrators in situ and to assess the relevance of a management method based on phytostabilisation aided by mycorrhizal fungi and the production of essential oils (EO) extracted from aromatic and medicinal plants (PPAM) grown on polluted plots of land on a hectare scale, through an approach that integrates both technical and socio-economic aspects.
