Heavy Metal Interactions with Plant Nutrients

  • Chapter
Physiology and Biochemistry of Metal Toxicity and Tolerance in Plants

Abstract

According to the classical definition “Interactions between nutrients occur when the supply of one nutrient affects the absorption, distribution or function of another nutrient. Thus, depending on nutrient supply, interactions between nutrients can either induce deficiencies or toxicities and can modify growth response” (Robson and Pitman, 1983). There are many nonspecific as well as specific interactions between mineral nutrients of plants (Robson and Pitman, 1983; Marschner 1988). When contents of any mineral nutrients are near the deficiency range the importance of interactions between two mineral nutrients increases. Specific interactions, e.g. competition between nutrients at the cellular level or replacement of one nutrient by another, are also important in evaluating critical toxicity contents (Foy et al., 1978; Marschner, 1988).
