ABSTRACT
Effect of various additions of cadmium (5 to 3125 microg g(-1) air dried soil) was studied on growth and Cd uptake in barley grown in pots containing two soil types- a loamy sand and a sandy loam, during different stages of growth. While lower doses (5 to 25 microg g(-1)) led to an increase, the higher doses resulted in a substantial decrease in barley growth. The plant Cd content increased with an increase in soil applied Cd. A decrease in translocation ratio prevailed at higher soil applied Cd, indicating the existence of an exclusion mechanism.
