Two pot experiments were conducted to study the effects of intercropping cadmium (Cd) accumulator plants (Stellaria media (L.) Villars, Cardamine hirsuta, Cerastium glomeratum Thuill, and Galium aparine L.) and applying their straw on the growth and Cd accumulation of Brassica chinensis L. Intercropping with four accumulator plants reduced the biomass, water content, and photosynthetic pigment content of B. chinensis compared with monoculture. Intercropping with accumulator plants increased the Cd content in the roots and shoot of B. chinensis, and the translocation factor (TF), root bioconcentration factor (root BCF), and shoot bioconcentration factor (Shoot BCF) increased. The soil pH decreased and the soil available Cd content increased by intercropping. Thus, intercropping with four accumulator plants can promote the Cd uptake of B. chinensis. The straw of four accumulator plants reduced the biomass, water content, and photosynthetic pigment content of B. chinensis compared with the control. The straw of S. media and C. hirsute increased the Cd content in the roots and shoots of B. chinensis, TF, root BCF, and shoot BCF. The straw of C. glomeratum and G. aparine decreased the Cd content in the roots and shoots of B. chinensis, TF, root BCF, and shoot BCF. The soil pH increased and the soil available Cd content decreased by application of straw. Thus, the straw of C. glomeratum and G. aparine can reduce the Cd uptake of B. chinensis.
