The pot experiment was conducted in laboratory conditions. The soil used in
experiment was loamy sand with 1.2% of organic carbon. To individual soil samples the
following solutions were added 2.5 mM Pb(NO3)2 (207 mg Pb+2), 30 mM NaF (570.0 F–
), 0.05 mM H2SeO3 (3,95 Se4+), aqueous emulsion of Izoturon 500 SC herbicide in an amount of
6.5 mm3 · kg–1 soil. The aim of this study was to determine the influence of chosen pollutants on
biometric parameters and SOD activity in three winter rye cultivars. Substances applied to the
soil significantly reduced growth, fresh weight and superoxide dismutase activity in three winter
rye cultivars planted in contaminated soil in comparison with control plants.
Rye cultivars were characterized by different tolerance to chosen substances. It was found
that cultivar ‘Chrobre’ was more sensitive to introduced pollutants than ‘Skat’ and
‘Dańkowskie Diamant’.
