The use of bio-fertilizers may due to heavy metals immobilization in the soil. This research has been conducted based on a factorial experiment in a completely randomized design with four replications in Malayer University. Pots contained a mixture of soil and different amounts (0 and 60% by weight) of vermicompost as bio fertilizer. Plants exposed to cadmium nitrate concentrations (0, 4 and 8 mmol per kg). The results showed that by increasing the concentration of cadmium root length and plant height significantly (P <0/05) decreased. The effect of Cadmium ion vermicompost fertilizer on root to shoot ratio was significant at the 5% level. The highest value of root to shoot ratio was 69 seen in Cd1V1 treatment. The maximum and minimum numerical value of total protein and survival capacity were seen Cd1V2 and Cd3V1 treatments. Translocation Factor (TF) significantly decreased by use of vermicompost fertilizer. The highest root concentration factor (RCF) of Cd was found in V1×Cd2 as compared to the other treatment levels. Generally, tolerance index (TI) values of all studied plants were significantly higher in the lower lead concentrations. Also compare the performance of three studied plants showed that MR compared to other species had higher survival capacity, tolerance, Translocation Factor, protein content and higher growth capacity in the presence of cadmium ion and fertilizer.
