Effects of Grape Seedlings Intercropping with Floricultural Accumulator Plants on Different Fractions of Cadmium Content in Soil

Year: 2018

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: The total amount of cadmium (Cd) in soil reflects the degree of pollution of the soil, but the bioavailability of Cd is mainly reflected by various fractions of it.In the experiment, four floricultural accumulator plants (Helianthus annuus, Cosmos sulphureus, Cosmos bipinnata and Impatiens balsamina) were used to intercrop with grape seedlings.The fractions of Cd in soil were studied after intercropping and the results showed that: The content of exchangeable Cd for the treatment of intercropping with H. annuus was 11.73% higher than the monoculture.The treatments of intercropping with C. bipinnata and I. balsamina can decrease the bioavailability of Cd significantly.Therefore, C. bipinnata and I. balsamina were suitable to intercrop with grape seedlings for the purpose of controlling Cd pollution in soil.
