THE Cd:Zn RATIO IN A SOIL AFFECTS Cd TOXICITY IN SPINACH (Spinacea oleracea L.)

Abstract: Cadmium (Cd) is a highly soil mobile heavy metal which is toxic even at very low concentrations and is thus of potential human health concern due to its entry into the food chain via consumption of edible crops. The plant nutrition is the most economical and practicable method among all strategies for reducing the accumulation of Cd in the edible parts of the plants. This experiment investigated the effect of changing the Cd:zinc (Zn) ratio in the soil in order to minimize the accumulation of Cd in the edible … Show more

“…Wu et al (2004) applied increasing Cd doses (1 and 10 mM Cd) to cotton plants and reported decreasing Zn, Cu and Fe concentrations with increasing Cd doses. Hussain et al (2016) also reported decreasing Zn contents of spinach with increasing Cd treatments. Such decreases were mainly attributed to similar transport and distribution mechanisms of Cd and Zn (Lin & Aarts, 2012).…”

“…It is mostly used in fried snacks, locally known as pakora. Spinach has been classified as moderately salt tolerant vegetable crop (Langdale et al, 1971;Hussain et al, 2016). But, germination percentage and germination rate of spinach seed was decreased while mean germination time was increased up to 100 mM NaCl concentration (Keshavarzi et al, 2011).…”
