Other claims from this paper (9)
- Intervention effect Cu, Ni and Cd together were more toxic to bush beans than any one alone.
- Association Cd and Ni concentrations showed synergistic effects, especially in bean stems.
- Intervention effect Combined Cu and Ni decreased plant P concentration synergistically in solution culture.
- Intervention effect Combined Cu and Ni decreased plant Zn concentration synergistically in solution culture.
- Intervention effect Combined Cu and Ni decreased plant Fe concentration synergistically in solution culture.
- Intervention effect Combined Cu and Ni had a synergistic effect on Ni concentration in roots.
- Intervention effect Zn and Cu additively decreased Cd concentration in bean roots.
- Intervention effect The Zn, Cu and Ni combination produced synergistic yield depression in solution culture.
- Intervention effect The Cd and Ni combination produced additive yield depression.
