Abstract

Cadmium (Cd) has accumulated in many agricultural soils in Australia due to fertilization with phosphatic fertilizers that contained Cd as an impurity. Nine field and seven glasshouse experiments using light-textured soils were conducted to investigate the effect of current-season applications of calcitic lime on i) soil pHw, ii) tuber yield, and iii) Cd accumulation in tubers of a range of processing (Russet Burbank, Atlantic, Shepody and Kennebec) and fresh market (Crystal, Pontiac and Desiree) potato cultivars.
