Abstract

Soil pollution with cadmium is a result of the strengthened
industrial development, especially in the areas of drilling, exploitation and processing of mineral raw materials. On the territory of the Republic of
Macedonia there are several areas with significant higher content of cadmium in the soil, including the vicinity of the mine lead and zinc “Zletovo” near the
town of Probištip. Phytoremediation is one of the most convenient techniques for remediation of heavy metals from contaminated soils. The main purpose
of the present study was to determine the effectiveness of soybean varieties for phytoremediation of agricultural soils with higher content of cadmium. For that purpose, three soybean varieties with short vegetation were used:
Pella, Avigea and OW in association with rhyzobacterium Bradyrhizobium japonicum. The total and available content of cadmium were determined in separate parts of the plant (root, stem, leaf, seed and pod). Additionally,
physicochemical analyses were conducted for determination soil properties. The analysis showed that varieties Pella and OW had higher potential for phytostabilization/ phytoextraction of cadmium from the soil.
