Abstract
A germination test was conducted for understanding the effect of Zn,Pb,Cu and Cd on germination rate,radicle growth,bud development and total biomass of industrial hemp( Cannabis sativa L.),The results showed that 4 types of heavy metals with low concentration could promote seed germination,while heavy metals with high concentration would inhibit seed germination and radical growth. The toxicity of 4 types of heavy metals on seed germination rate could be ranked as Cu2 + Cd2 + Zn2 + Pb2 +,and the germination rate could reach over80 % for Zn2 +and Pb2 +with a concentration of 1 000 mg /L. The test also showed the same result for radicle growth,bud growth and total biomass and it could be ranked as Cu2 + Cd2 + Zn2 + Pb2 +. This test indicated that seed germination of hemp was highly resistant to Pb2 +and Zn2 +,and it could be ranked as Pb2 + Zn2 +Cd2 + Cu2 +.
