Effect of Phosphate Amendment on Cadmium Accumulation in Pepper (<i>Capsicum annuum</i> L.) Grown in Geogenic Cd-Rich Soil from the Karst Region by Yuyang Li, Dan Xing, Rong Wen, Wangwang Zhou, Yongxiang Zhang, Yizhang Liu

“…The results showed that the biomass of pepper was not affected by the application rates of Ca(H₂PO₄)_2, even up to 0.45 g/kg, but was affected by the application of nitrogen and potassium fertilizers. High contents of total Cd (6.19 mg/kg) and bioavailable Cd (2.72 mg/kg, 44%) in the studied soils resulted in elevated Cd content in pepper, and it decreased in the order of root (8.18 mg/kg) > stem (4.89 mg/kg) > fruit (3.88 mg/kg). …”
