The aim of this study was to determine the effect of soil contamination by Cd (10, 20, 30 and 40 mg Cd/kg of soil) and a simultaneous application of different substances (compost, brown coal, lime and bentonite) on the N intake by Avena sativa, Lupinus luteus, Phacelia tanacetifolia, and Zea mays. N concentration in plants depended on the plant species and the degree of soil contamination by Cd. Large doses of Cd caused an increase in N concentration in oat straw and roots as well as in maize roots. Soil Cd resulted in a decrease of N concentration in oat grains, in above-ground parts and roots of Lupinus luteus and Phacelia tanacetifolia, and in above-ground parts of Zea mays. The application of bentonite had the strongest and usually negative effect on the N concentration in plants. The greatest effect of bentonite was on Avena sativa grain, above-ground parts of Zea mays, Lupinus luteus and Phacelia tanacetifolia. N concentrations in plants were generally positively correlated with the concentrations of macroelements and some microelements, regardless of the substances added to the soil.
