ABSTRACT
The effect of increasing application of zinc (Zn) and cadmium (Cd) on dry matter yield and concentrations of Zn and Cd was investigated in maize plant. Maize plant was grown in Zn deficient soil with increasing Zn (0 and 10 mg kg-1 soil) and Cd (0, 10 and 20 mg kg-1 soil) and harvested after 45 days of growth under greenhouse conditions. At the end of experiment, dry matter yield of maize plant decreased with increasing Cd application and increased with Zn application. Increasing Cd application to Zn deficient plants tended to decrease Zn concentration in plants, whereas in plants with adequate Zn, concentrations of Zn increased in plants.
