- Abstract
- A sequential extraction procedure was used to investigate the influence of long-term phosphate fertilization on the distribution of cadmium throughout the major components of krasnozemic soils in the potato growing district located to the East of Ballarat, Victoria, Australia. The soil fractions investigated consisted of the water soluble, exchangeable, weakly bound to metal oxides, strongly bound to metal oxides, bound to organic material and residual. Other soil parameters, such as pHH2O, pHCaCl2, electrolytical conductivity and total organic material were investigated. The concentrations of Ca, Mg, Fe, Mn and Zn in each soil fraction were also measured. The total concentration of cadmium in the farmed soils had increased from the background level of 100.5; C1
