Abstract

The study was carried out to show the effect of phosphorus in the feeding solution on the heavy elements accumulation like (cadmium and mercury ) in the different parts of wheat plant (roots , green parts and seeds) .The seeds type Ibaa 99 were planted in containers consist of sand soil washed with distilled water to be clean from heavy elements . Then, the seeds were watered with feeding solution of different concentration of phosphorus (0,17,34,68) mg/liter with cadmium (50,100) mg/liter or mercury (50,100) mg/liter. The results showed that (17) mg/liter phosphorus factor reduced the accumulation of the heavy elements of mercury and cadmium in the different parts of the plant (roots , green parts and seeds ) as compared with other phosphorus factors
