Cadmium in potato and soybeans: Do phosphate fertilization and soil management systems play a role?

► Cadmium (Cd) contents in potato and soybean in Brazil were studied. ► Cd content in potato varied among cultivars and areas, remained mainly in peel. ► Cd content in soybean independent of the cropping system. ► Cd in studied crops is within Codex Alimentarius limits, and not a risk to human health. ► Cd in crops in soils with high rate of P fertilization not a risk to human health.
