Table 2.
Soil Cd, P, and Fe contents (ppm of soil) of non-mycorrhizal and mycorrhizal soybean plants after 40 days of Cd addition.
| Soil Elements Concentration (ppm) | Non-Mycorrhizal Soybean + Cd | Mycorrhizal Soybean+ Cd |
|---|---|---|
| Cd | 10.97 ± 5.06 | 17.72 ± 8.44 |
| P | 529.68 ± 46.3 | 490.53 ± 49.84 |
| Fe | 10375 ± 1742 | 13582 ± 1441 1 |
1 Data are the means of three replicates ± SE for soil Cd, P, and Fe contents. Average values were not significantly different between mycorrhizal and non-mycorrhizal soybean plants; data were analyzed by an unpaired t test (p ≤ 0.05).
