Pot experiments were conducted to study the effects of 3 potassium fertilizers(K_2SO_4, K_2SiO_4 and K_2HPO_4) on the absorption of cadmium by 4 tobacco plants. Tobacco Yun87,Yun97, K326 and Xiang3 were grown in acidic soils in Zhuzhou Chaling with cadmium concentration below 1. 0 mg·kg~(-1) with. Through 3 fertilizers application,we analysed heavy metal contents in the upper, middle and lower leaves of the tobacco to explore the effects of the fertilizers on the pH of the contaminated soil and absorption of soil cadmium by tobacco. The result...
