Abstract
Several factors affecting the growth and the uptake of cadmium by okra plants were studied using both root - treatment and foliar - treatmen t. These factors were the concentration of cadmium, type of treatment, soil composition, presence of foreign ions, salinity, acidity and tem perature. Both growth of plant and cadmium uptake by plant were affect ed highly by the concentration of cadmium, type of treatment, soil com position, salinity and temperature. Acidity of solutions has only a li ttle and irregular effect. A synergistic combined effect of lead,coppe r and zinc with cadmium was observed on the growth of plant but not re gular on the uptake of cadmium.
