| ABSTRACT |
| Phosphate applied to three Cd-amended upland soils had no effect on soil Cd transformation or on plant Cd uptake, but heavy phosphate applications to a submerged red earth inhibited the transformation of exchangeable Cd to less-available Cd forms. Cd uptake by rice plants increased with increasing P supply but plant resistance to Cd also increased at high P levels. Application of phosphate as an amendment for Cd-contaminated soil is not recommended due to possible adverse effects on the food chain. |
