Other claims from this paper (9)
- Intervention effect Corn dry matter yield significantly decreased beyond 30 mg Cd kg-1 soil.
- Intervention effect Application of 5 mg Zn kg-1 soil reduced the toxicity of Cd to corn.
- Association At 50 mg Zn kg-1 soil the interaction of Cd and Zn on corn yield became antagonistic beyond 50 mg Cd kg-1 soil.
- Intervention effect Addition of Zn significantly increased the Cd concentration in corn plants.
- Intervention effect Added Cd at 5 mg kg-1 enhanced the Zn concentration in corn plants, and only at that rate.
- Intervention effect Higher added Cd rates did not further change the Zn content of corn plants.
- Intervention effect Zn application increased DTPA-extractable Cd at added Cd rates up to 40 mg kg-1 soil.
- Intervention effect DTPA-extractable Cd decreased beyond 40 mg Cd kg-1 soil with Zn application.
- Intervention effect Added Cd had no effect on DTPA-extractable Zn in soil.
