Abstract:	Ecological reconstruction of polluted sites are important scope of duties to ecological and agricultural researchers. A typical polluted territory is situated in the area of the Gyöngyösoroszi. Application of sheep manure compost and lime where tested as a possible way for remediation of the polluted habitat. These amendment materials are well-known in agricultural practice. Our goal was to obtain detailed information about the feature of these materials which increase the survival and help the growth of plants. We carried out pot experiments and chemical measurements too. In pot experiments we studied the effects of different doses of compost and lime with Italian ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum L.) as marker plant. In the chemical experiments we analyzed the polluted soil and we carried out heavy metal leaching laboratory tests on the polluted soil. We measured the pH changing effect of these substances too. We also determined the heavy metal content of Italian ryegrass which was grown in amended contaminated soil.
