1. Influence of Soil Amendments and Topographic Position on Winter Wheat Heavy Metal Uptake

Field crop heavy metal accumulation poses a major challenge for reducing food contamination and is governed by complex interactions between soil physical and chemical properties, climatic conditions, and intrinsic plant traits. Addressing these challenges requires an understanding of heavy metal accumulation during crop development and effective pre-harvest field mitigation strategies. Two winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) field studies were conducted in Michigan focusing on 1) fer... K. Steinke, M. Suplito, Z. Hayden
