The species belong to the botanical family Brassi- caceae are considered to be useful for phytoremediation of soil contaminated with heavy metals. Problems with use the plants recognized as hyperacumulators is that, the plants need to be harvested shortly after the plants become mature, which causes problems of disposal of obtained biomass. When these plants are dried, they easily crumble and flake off, greatly reducing the yield obtained, and the rest of the plant residues are a source of sec- ondary emission of toxic substances. Quite a large biomass and the lack of difficulties after harvesting are advantages described for different types of cabbage. Our study reveals the usefulness of the white cabbage ( Brassica oleracea L. subsp. capitata f. alba ) for the purification of the soil from zinc and cadmium by phytoextraction
