Abstract

Industrialization and extraction of natural resources have resulted in large scale environmental
contamination and pollution. Soil pollution with cadmium is due to 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 long vegetation were used: Balkan, Ilindenka and Pavlikeni 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). Physicochemical analyses were conducted for determination soil properties. Bioaccumulation factor (BAF), bioconcentrating factor (BCF) and translocation factor (TF) were used toexamine the soybean potentiality for cadmium
remediation.
