Abstract

The current study aims to investigate the implications of amending a soil contaminated with Cd with peanut residues biochar (BP) solely or in combination with cow manure (CMPB) at different rates on phytotoxicity of Cd for wheat plants and its distribution in a mine contaminated soil. Soil pH and EC increased progressively in soils amended with either PB or CMPB. Exchangeable Cd was decreased while its non-exchangeable fractions were increased. Dry weights of wheat straw, roots and grains increased when soils amended with either PB or CMPB, especially at the higher application rate. Such increases were correlated significantly with the extractable soil-Cd. Concentrations of Cd in roots were higher than those in straw; whereas, the concentrations in grains seemed to be the lowest. Generally, values of bio-concentration and translocation factors did not exceed “1” and decreased with application of either PB or CMPB. In conclusion, enriching biochar with cow manure is a recommended strategy to reduce Cd uptake and translocation to straw and seeds. Moreover, Concentrations of Cd did not exceed the permissible levels in grains when soils amended with the highest rate of CMPB.
