Heavy metals applied to agriculture soils as soluble salts are usually considered more plant available in short term than equivalent amounts of metals applied to soil in sewage sludge. Slow chemical processes over several years, however may change the forms, extraclability, and bioavailability of metals. To determine the long-term changes in forms of Cd added to a soil, Cd was extracted with [KNO_„ H20, NaOH, NarEDTA, HN03] from clay loam soil, after application of sewage sludge and CdCl2 at Land Reclamation Directorate. Cadmium was applied at the rate of 19 kg ha'1 as sewage sludge or as CdCI2 in 1993 and 1994, used to grow wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). The salt amended soils have a higher percentage of Cd in the soluble and exchangeable form
(6.7% vs. 3%) and lower percentages in the residual fraction (42% vs. 54%) as compare to sludge amended soils. The grain/straw availability of Cd was higher from the saltamended soils as compared to sludge amended soil (0.068/1.1 vs. 0.057/0.8 grain/straw mg kg'1). In control pits (soil parent material/background levels), higher percentage of Cd
(79%) was in the residual fraction as compare to slat-amended and sludge amended soils and support the view that metal from anthropogenic sources are more mobile than those from soil parent materials.
