The effects of soil (reddish brown soil) loading with copper on some cultivated plants under pot experiment conditions are presented. The increase of soil copper content up to 1,021 ppm Cu more or less significantly decreased the phytomass of winter wheat, two-row barley, bean, soybean, cabbage and turnip cabbage, while lettuce, radish, pea and oats could not grow at this level (1,021 ppm Cu). At the same time, significant increase of copper concentration in plants occurred, the soil pollution degree being also dependent on the specific tolerance capacity of the tested plants
