Abstract: Asolution culture with cabbage, ryegrass, maize and white clover showed that their growthrate and dry matter yield decreased with increasing Cd2+ activity. The tolerance towards Cd2+changed in folowing sequence: cabbage > ryegrass > maize > white clover. For the plant speciestested, Cd2+ decreased their accumulation of Fe, Mn, Cu. Zn, Ca and Mg, but increased Paccurnulatbo. All species except cabbage had an increased Saccumulation. The difference of cabbage and white clover in sensitivity to Cd toxicity was strongly related to their different accumulation of Fe, Mn, Ca and Mg under the impact of Cd2+.

Key words: Cd2+, Growth, Nutrient accumulation
