ABSTRACT
A pot experiment was conducted to reduce the entrance of arsenic into wheat plant by using P. vittata as arsenic trapping inter-crop plant with wheat. Experiment was consisted of two densities of the trap plants (P. vittata) and control, viz. P0: No (control); P1: four plants per m2 and P2: eight plants per m2. Inter-planting of four P. vittata per m2 reduced 97.16% and eight P. vittata per m2 reduced 97.44% arsenic from soil, which could be accumulated into wheat. Maximum yield was found from P1 (5.7 g per plant) which was statistically similar with P2 (5.4 g per plant) while minimum was found from P0 (3.4 g per plant). Highest amount of arsenic accumulation was found from P1 in wheat grain (1.34 ppm) and straw (35.27 ppm). Arsenic accumulation was found in wheat grain (0.02 and 0.01 ppm in P1 and P2 respectively), straw (1.17 and 1.07 ppm in P1 and P2 respectively) and. Inter-planting of P. vittata in arsenic contaminated wheat field can diminish the arsenic entry into wheat. Regarding both yields of wheat and arsenic concentrations in wheat plant, it can be recommended to inter-plant four P. vittata plants per m2 area as a trap plant.
Key words: Triticum aestivum, Chinese brake fern (P. vittata), arsenic reduction and inter-planting
