Effect of fertilizers, lime and cadmium added to soil on the cadmium content of spring wheat

In a pot experiment the cadmium content of wheat grain grown on acid (pHCCaCl2 5.5) loam and clay soils was increased from 55 to 440-540 µg/kg by addition of 1 mg of cadmium per kg of soil. Raising of NPK fertilization increased the cadmium content of grain in general. The effect of liming varied. I...
