Abstract: In our country, water crisis is increasingly serious and the pollution eara of soil heavy metal Cadmium expands continuously. Under this situation, my dissertation studys alfalfa which has good economic value and strong drought and cold resistance. Effect of Cd2+,Zn2+on seed-percentage, growth of root and plumule from medicago sativa was studied. The results showed that Cd2+,Zn2+of lower concentration could raise germination precentage with viability and index of seed vigor, promote plumule growth. It has been indicated by the experiment that high concentration Cd2+,Zn2+ could reduce gernination perentage with viability and index of seed their vigor. In the meantime, Cd2+,Zn2+ exhibited more inhibition on root growth than on plumule. Effect of combined treatment is bigger than Cd2+ treatment or Zn2+ treatment.
