| Abstract: | The changes studied in 137Cs uptake by plants and its distribution between vegetative and generative organs of barley cultivated with the application of potassium humate. A relationship has been found between 137Cs accumulation size in barley at various ontogenesis stages and way of potassium humate application (treatment of seeds or plants), as well as availability of mineral nutrients in the soil. Changes in K+ and NH4+ concentrations in soil solution are shown to be of prevailing importance in regulating 137Cs uptake by plants compared with potassium humate effects. |
