Four doses of cadmium (Cd; 0, 2.5, 5, and 10ppm) in the form of cadmium chloride and four doses of Zn (0, 10, 20, and 40ppm) in the form of zinc sulfate were applied to the soils. Plants were harvested at the 45th day of their developments. The Cd amounts in shoots and roots were analyzed separately. Significant differences between Cd amounts in shoots and roots are obtained with the application of different Zn doses (P<0.01). In all Cd levels, Zn application increases Cd in both shoots and roots relative to Cd contents of plants grown in the pots that not applied Zn. It is also found that Cd content of the roots is greater than that of shoots.en10.1080/00103624.2015.1033534info:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccesscadmiumzincAlkaline soilmaizeArticle461012441248Q3WOS:0003551968000052-s2.0-84930032503Q2
