Influence of cadmium-resistant Streptomycetes on plant growth and cadmium uptake by Chlorophytum comosum (Thunb.) Jacques

A fully expanded hydrogel, Agrosoke, was used to replace 5% (1 ×) or 10% (2 ×) of the volume of a potting medium to determine its effect on plant growth and water use. Although irrigation frequency was unaffected by Agrosoke, spider plants (Chlorophytum comosum (Thunb.) Jacques ‘Vittatum’) grown in the 2 × medium were 50% larger and had more lateral shoots and better root systems than the control, demonstrating improved water use efficiency. Agrosoke had no effect on either irrigation frequency or on fresh weight of Boston fern (Nephrolepis exaltata (L.) Schott. ‘Rooseveltii’). Leachates from hydrogel-amended media had higher electrical conductivity indicating that more nutrients and other salts were held by these media.

The effect of swine bone powder application on bioavailability of Cd in contaminated soil from Tak Province, Thailand were conducted. The bioavailability of Cd was investigated in term of the uptake by rice plant (Oryza sativa L.) in green house at three different application rates of swine bone powder amended soil, including 5, 10 and 15%, respectively. The result demonstrated that the efficiency of cadmium uptake in Khao Dawk Mali 105 rice were in range 0.18-0.20 % and the 5% swine bone amended soil had a positive effect on promoting plant growth and seed yield. Cd concentration in both of shoot and roots decreased with increasing the swine bone application rates. Cadmium bioaccumulation in plant root to soil and translocation factor from root to shoot was less than one. The results indicated that swine bone powder-amended soil could be an alternative and cost-effective method to support plant growth and decrease Cd mobility in soil.
