Table 1.

The dry weight based bioconcentration factor (BCFDW) of pak choi grown in various Cd-contaminated soils for 50 days.

Treatment Soil Cd conc. Shoot Cd conc. BCFDW *
mg·kg1
Cd-CK 0.8 ± 0.3 # 0.7 ± 0.5 0.80
Cd-10 10.5 ± 0.2 38.9 ± 0.8 3.96
Cd-20 20.1 ± 0.8 72.0 ± 0.3 3.59

# mean ± standard deviation; Replicates (n = 3); * BCFDW = shoot Cd concentration (dry weight based)/soil Cd concentration.
