Cadmium translocated 21,9% to more than lead to the aerial part showing Pb concentrated in the roots while in the fruits, the translocation of these metals reached 1,89% for Cd and 1,38% for Pb. In relation to the control treatment, the fruits production was reduced from the concentration 5,0 mg L-1 de Pb and 1,0 mg L-1 of Cd.
