| A pot experiment was conducted to study the effects of phosphorus（P） on the growth and uptake of heavy metals of strawberry grown in the soil contaminated by Cd and Pb. The results showed that the yield and vitamin C content of strawberry were decreased by the pollution of heavy metals, and a significant change was observed in yield and uptake of heavy metal under different Cd and Pb polluted levels. Moreover, different tissues of strawberry had different capability in accumulating heavy metals which was in the order of root>stem and leaf>fruit, even under different treatment. Applying P fertilizer could not only reduce the impacts of Cd and Pb on the growth and quality of strawberry, but also decrease the contents of Cd and Pb in all tissues significantly. In general, P has a great application potential to remediate Cd and Pb contaminated soil. |
