Analysis of Cadmium Accumulation in Linseed (<i>Linum Usitatissimum</i> L.) Depending on Soil pH and Fertilizer Level

Flax (Linum usitatissimum L.) has great potential for the production of oil with functional properties. There are several factors drastically reducing quality linseeds. One them is cadmium uptake and accumulation in seeds. The aim this study was to assess control capability Cd level by fertilization soil pH. experiment carried four Polish varieties linseed: Bukoz, Szafir, Olivin, Jantarol. two different pH used experiment: acidic (pH 4.5) alkaline 7.5). Two concentrations aqueous solution nitrate (Cd(NO3)2) were added obtain final concentration Cd: 2 mg/kg 4 soil, respectively. phosphorous fertilizer supplied amounts of: 50 kg/ha, 100 150 kg/ha. results revealed that important cultivation linseed. linseed can be significantly weakened increasing Among flax examined, highest seed yield lowest content at same time obtained “Bukoz” during kg/ha 7.5.
