Abstract
A study was conducted to find out the phytoextraction potential of Capsicum annuum (C. annuum) to cadmium under different concentrations (0, 10 mM, 20 mM, 30 mM, 40 mM and 50 mM) and time periods {60 days after germination (DAG), 80 DAG and 100 DAG}. Cadmium content in different plant parts and soil were estimated using Atomic absorption spectrophotometer (AAS) after wet diacid digestion. Bioconcentration factor, translocation factor and enrichment factor were calculated. Statistical analysis of the results revealed that C.annuum is not a phytoaccumulator of cadmium as most of the cadmium was accumulated in roots. Also cadmium content in fruits was below detectable limits.
