Abstract
Abstract: Health hazards posed by the accumulation of toxic metals in the environment accompanied by the high cost of removal and replacement of metal polluted soil have prompted efforts to develop bioremediation strategies. This green house study was carried out with ‘Jowar’ (Sorghum vulgare) aimed to determine the effect of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal (AM) colonization on the uptake of cadmium (Cd) from artificially contaminated soil. Plants of S. vulgare were grown in AM and non AM inoculated substrate and subjected five soil- [Cd] concentrations (0.1%, 0.2%, 1.0%, 2.0 % and 5.0%). The inoculation of AM Fungi resulted in significantly better absorption and accumulation of Cd by Sorghum. Compared to non-AM inculated treatments the percent increase in Cd accumulation was 47.1%, 45.2%, 35.7%, 33.9 % and 23.5 % for 0.1%, 0.2%, 1.0%, 2.0 % and 5.0 % respectively after 80 days of treatment. As for growth parameters were studied, there were significant differences between treatments. Soil pH was significantly lower in non-AM than AM treatments at the highest soil- [Cd]. The results indicated possible exploitation of AM colonization for better metal accumulation in plant for phytoremediaation purpose.
