Abstract
The addition of zinc at 20 mg kg(-1) to soils in a growth chamber stud y reduced the shoot Cd concentration of two durum wheat (Triticum turg idum L. var durum) lines at 10 degrees C, 16 degrees C, and 22 degrees C soil temperatures while additions of ammonium nitrate (NH4NO3) and monoammonium phosphate (NH4H2PO4) increased shoot Cd concentrations. A pplying Zn with NH4NO3 Or NH4H2PO4 reduced shoot Cd concentrations of the plants to levels comparable to the control.
