A number of approaches are being used to minimize Cd accumulation in edible plant parts. Proper plant nutrition is one of the good strategies to minimize damaging effects of cadmium on plants and to decrease its accumulation in edible plant parts. A pot experiment was conducted on wheat in a soil contaminated with Cd @ 30 mg kg-1. Zinc was applied using two different application methods i. e., soil applications (Zn @ 15&30 mg kg-1) and foliar applications (0. 3&0. 6% ZnSO4 solution) compared to control (without Zn but Cd).
