In order to explore the effects of different types of nitrogen fertilizer oncadmium(Cd)accumulation in amaranthin different types of soils，a pot experiment was conducted，using Amaranshus mangostanus L.as the test material.Fivetreatments ofCO(NH 2)2，(NH4)2 SO4，NaNO3，NH4 NO3，CK(non-fertilizer)were set up on yellow brown soil andlateritic redsoil，and the application amount of nitrogen fertilizer was N 200 mg/kgsoil.The results showed that on yellowbrown soil，the Cd content and Cd accumulation in the shoot and root parts of amaranth increased in a largest degree underCO(NH2)2treatment，which increased by59%，90% and243%，259% respectively；In lateritic redsoil，the Cd contentand Cd accumulation in shoot and root of amaranth increased in the largest degreeunder(NH 4)2SO4treatment by56%，114% and141%，293%，respectively.The application of NaNO 3 on the two soils significantly reduced the absorptionand accumulation of amaranth Cd，and the accumulation of Cd in the root was as low as 0.03 and 0.06 μg/pot respectively.Therefore，it is suggested to applyCO(NH 2)2on yellow brown soiland(NH 4)2 SO4on lateritic redsoil，which can not onlyincrease the biomass ofamaranth，but also enhance the absorption and accumulation of amaranth Cd.
