Evaluate Ability of Uptake and Translocation of Lead in Three Varieties of Cabbage

To evaluate biomass production and lead (Pb) uptake and translocation in three varieties of cabbage a factorial pot experiment with completely randomized design and three replications was performed in the greenhouse conditions. The experimental treatments consisted of six levels of soil contamination to Pb (0, 50, 100, 150, 300 and 400 mg/kg soil using lead nitrate [Pb(NO3)2] as Pb source) and three varieties of cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. acephala L., Brassica oleracea var. italica L. & Brassica oleracea var. capitata L.) which were examined in triplicate. The Analysis of variance of the data showed that the treatments had significant effects (P
