Effects of Zeolite on Aggregation, Nutrient Availability, and Growth Characteristics of Corn (Zea mays L.) in Cadmium-Contaminated Soils

Original language description

Heavy metal accumulation in soil and water is one of major problems. The existence of large amounts of heavy metals in agricultural soils has impacted the food security significantly and, by extension, the human health. Recognition and as a new approach, the use of natural zeolite in soils can be very effective in polluted area. For this purpose, the present research was conducted to evaluate the effects of Iranian natural zeolite named anzimit at different levels of 0, 5, 10, and 15 g kg(-1) soil (Control, Z5, Z10, and Z15) on several soil physiochemical properties and corn growth characteristics in cadmium-contaminated soil. Experiment was carried out based on complete randomized design in 6 replications. Results showed that Z5 caused significant increase in mean weight diameter of aggregate from 0.35 (control) to 2.79 mm and water stability aggregate from 51.6 (control) to 80.7% (p &lt; 0.05). Cation exchange capacity increased significantly, by 235.19% in Z15 in soil. Cd bioavailability showed significant decrease with all treatment especially Z5 by 86.84% decrease than control. Grow characteristics of corn increased significantly. Leaf nutrients were significantly affected by Z5 with 71.20%, 47.01%, and 20.19% increase in N, P, and K, respectively. Our study highlights that high rate application of zeolite is not without drawbacks. Natural zeolite particles due to coarseness cause destruction of soil structure, dispersion of soil particles, increase water loss, and thus reduce the growth characteristics. Therefore, with considering soil aggregation, Z5 with a positive effect on mean weight diameter and water stable aggregate can be used as a suitable natural zeolite.
