Abstract:
The determination of the aluminum and barium contents in eight wheat varieties and the soil have been carried out using wet acid digestion method by nitric acid and hydrogen peroxide for dissolution of two heavy metals, aluminum and barium. The certified and representative samples of eight wheat varieties and the soil of experimental plot of NIA, Tandojam Sindh, Pakistan was done by atomic absorption spectrometry. The experimental study was conducted using six samples for each eight wheat varieties of FSC and RD as standard reference materials and representative samples, its soil was collected from nuclear institute of agriculture (NIA), Tandojam. The characteristics mean of each element for six samples of each variety of representative samples found to be 30.14, 15.06, 26.5, 19.05, 23.78, 38.77, 29.23 and 25.6 of the aluminum and 3.81, 6.73, 7.38, 7.17, 3.34, 5.99, 17.34 and 16.4 mg/kg of the barium for Anmol, TJ-83, Abadgar-93, Mehran-89, Soughat-90, Sarsabaz, Kiran and SKD-10/9 varieties respectively and its soil contain 50607.1 mg/kg respectively in representative samples which were compared with certified samples which is at the 95% confidence limit.
