Phyto- and bioremediation are perspective methods for soil recultivation. In spite of resistance of plant-hyperaccumulators and degrading microorganisms to some contaminants, there are soil toxicity limits for their growth and activity. Therefore, simple and express methods are needed to estimate the soil phytotoxicity. This article is devoted to description of an express-phytotest evaluated by germination rate of white clover (Trifolium repens) (Ph_CG) for estimating phytotoxicity of contaminated soils. This phytotest was developed on the example of grey forest soil contaminated with diesel fuel or copper(II) and approbated during our long-year experiments on adsorptive bioremediation of petroleum-contaminated soils. The sensitivity of the phytotest values Ph_CG to these contaminants is much higher compared to those phytotests evaluated by germination of larger seeds: cress (Lepidium sativum), and wheat (Triticum vulgare). A significant increase of Ph_CG in those soils by 10% was already recorded at 50–100 mg of available Cu²⁺ kg⁻¹ and 1–5 g total petroleum hydrocarbons kg⁻¹, depending on the hydrocarbon composition. The sensitivity of the standard phytotests evaluated by root length of wheat seedlings or by plant (T. vulgare or T. repens) biomass is higher than that of Ph_CG determination. However, bio- and phytoremediation are mostly applied for heavily contaminated soils. Therefore, use of the simple and cheap express phytotest for choosing optimal conditions of the soil remediation and following the process is quite justified. Besides, measuring an additional parameter—root length of the white clover seedlings may significantly increase the sensitivity of the express phytotest for lower contaminated soils.

植物修复和生物修复是土壤复垦的前景方法。尽管植物超富集植物和降解微生物对某些污染物具有抗性，但它们的生长和活性存在土壤毒性限制。因此，需要简单而明确的方法来估计土壤植物毒性。本文致力于描述一种通过白三叶草 ( Trifolium repens ) (Ph _CG ) 的发芽率来评估受污染土壤的植物毒性的快速植物测试。该植物测试是针对被柴油或铜 (II) 污染的灰色森林土壤的例子开发的，并在我们对石油污染土壤的吸附性生物修复的长期实验中得到了认可。_{植物检测值Ph CG}的敏感性与通过较大种子萌发评估的那些植物测试相比，这些污染物要高得多：水芹 ( Lepidium sativum)和小麦 ( Triticum vulgare )。^{在 50-100 mg 可用的 Cu 2+} kg ^-1和 1-5 g 总石油烃 kg ^-1时，已经记录到这些土壤中的 Ph _CG显着增加了 10% ，具体取决于碳氢化合物的组成。以小麦幼苗根长或植物（ T. vulgare或T. repens ）生物量评估的标准植物测试的敏感性高于Ph _{CG 。}决心。然而，生物修复和植物修复主要用于严重污染的土壤。因此，使用简单便宜的快速植物测试来选择土壤修复的最佳条件并遵循该过程是非常合理的。此外，测量一个额外的参数——白三叶草幼苗的根长可能会显着提高快速植物检测对低污染土壤的敏感性。
