Fig. 1. Copper and iron concentrations (mg kg-1) in shoots and roots and biomass production (g plant-1) of tobacco (cv. Burley 92) in different treatments for the nutrient solution experiment without montmorillonite. Columns with no common index are significantly different at P 0.05. NTA, nitrilotriacetate.
