Possibilities of wheat farming on soils contaminated with heavy metals in the region of NFMV – Plovdiv, Bulgaria

The subject of present comparative study in the region of the NFMW Plovdiv, Bulgaria, was to evaluate the amounts and depots of accumulated b, Cu, Zn and Cd in vegetative and reproductive organs of the cereal crop wheat, as well as to determine the possibilities for wheat farming on soils contaminated with heavy metals. The highest heavy metal concentrations were established in the grain of wheat farmed at a distance of 100 m from NFMW where Pb attained up to 10.689 mg.kg -1 , Zn up to 71.458 mg.kg -1 , Cuup to 4.583 mg.kg -1 and Cdup to 1.211 mg.kg -1
