Impact of Long-term Phosphate Application and Level of Fertilizer Cd on Crops and Soils
Assess the rate of P application from various P sources having different inherent cadmium levels, on Cd uptake and Cd concentration of harvested grain from crops in western Canada.
IPNI-2002-CAN-MB16
Field studies will be established at 2 to 4 sites in Manitoba and 2 to 4 sites in Alberta depending on the funding obtained. Soils at each site will be characterized for soil texture, conductance, P, Cd, N, Cl and S concentration, carbonate content, pH and organic matter content, as these factors may influence the availability of Cd.

Interpretive Summary
Impact of Long-Term Phosphate Application and Level of Fertilizer Cadmium on Crops and Soils, 2005 Public concern regarding the transfer of cadmium (Cd) from phosphorus (P) fertilizers to soils, and uptake by crops, has increased interest in evaluating the true impact of fertilization practices on food nutrient content.
Impact of Long-Term Phosphate Application and Level of Fertilizer Cadmium on Crops and Soils, 2004. Public concern regarding the transfer of cadmium (Cd) from phosphorus (P) fertilizers to soils, and uptake by crops, has increased interest in evaluating the true impact of fertilization practices on food nutrient content.
