Popis: The aim of this study was to evaluate the interactions among cadmium (Cd), zinc (Zn), and lead (Pb) regarding their distributions among soil fractions and absorption by velvet bean. Solutions containing 20, 150, and 150 mg kg−1 of Cd, Zn and Pb, all together, combined 2 by 2, or alone, were added to the soil. Plants were grown for 35 days. Biomass and metal contents in plants and soil fractions were measured. The results showed that Zn was the most phytotoxic metal. Competition among Cd, Zn, and Pb influenced their distribution into soil fractions; Pb prevailed on the organic-matter fraction, Zn on the water-soluble fraction, and Cd on the water-soluble and organic-matter fractions. Competition between Cd and Zn influenced the absorption and translocation of Zn. Soil Pb had no influence on the distribution of Pb in plant aboveground parts but increased its concentration in the root and favored Zn translocation.
