Abstract
A pot experiment was carried out in the plastic greenhouse at the Institute of Sustainable Agrotechnology (INSAT), University Malaysia Perlis in Sungai Chuchuh, Perlis, Malaysia. During season of the cultivation of 2014 investigate the impact of soil pH, types of compost and cadmium (Cd) on Plant height, Leaf area and Leaf area index of corn plant (Zea mays L.). Fifty were arranged in factorial experiments according to the Complete Randomized Design (CRD), with three replicates. Five levels of soil pH were, pH4, pH5.2 (i.e., the original value), pH6, pH7 and pH8, two types of compost, market compost (MC) and product compost (PC) and five levels of Cd; Cd 1, Cd 2, Cd 3, Cd 4 and Cd 0 where the amounts kg-1 soil and control treatment without add Cd) are applied as CdCl2. Thus, the total numbers of pots were 150 pots. The results showed the soil pH 6 led to significant effect in increase the Plant height, Leaf area and Leaf area index. While adding the compost (PC) to increase the Plant height, Leaf area and Leaf area index .as well as, increase concentration of Cd led to significant decreasing in Plant height, Leaf area and Leaf area index.
