| Details | To investigate the transfer of Cd from fertilizer into farm plants, a hydroponic experiment was performed with bean sprout. The concentrations of Cd in the foliage were measured by the Atomic Absorption Spectrometer. The bean sprout increased their weight for 1 week and then gradually deacreased the rates of weight gain to the end of the experiment. When added the oyster shell powder (Crassostrea gigas) in the cultivation liquid as a source of the heavy metals, they accumulated Cd and zinc (Zn) in their foliage time dependently. |
