- Abstract
The pot experiment was conducted to study the effects of intercropping with cadmium (Cd) tolerant plants (Arenaria serpyllifolia, Clinopodium confine, Ranunculus sieboldii and Plantago asiatica) on growth and Cd accumulation of Brassica chinensis. Compared with the monoculture, only intercropping with C. confine increased the root biomass, shoot biomass, and photosynthetic pigment contents of B. chinensis, and intercropping with A. serpyllifolia, R. sieboldii and P. asiatica decreased that. Intercropping with tolerant plants increased the Cd contents in roots and shoots of B. chinensis, and the orders of that were ranked as intercropping with C. confine > intercropping with P. asiatica > intercropping with A. serpyllifolia > intercropping with R. sieboldii > monoculture. Intercropping with C. confine increased the Cd contents in roots and shoots of B. chinensis by 107.67% and 72.00% respectively compared with the monoculture Therefore, intercropping with Cd tolerant plants could increase the Cd uptake of B. chinensis, which should be carefully considered in Cd-contaminated soil.
