Joint effects of Cd 2+ and napropamide in seeds, roots or leaves of alfalfa were investigated under different treatments. It was shown that single stress of Cd 2+ or napropamide decreased chlorophyll content after 30 days of treatment in different concentrations. The decrease in chlorophyll content became insignificant under joint stress of Cd 2+ and napropamide. It can be concluded that the interaction of Cd 2+ and napropamide would aggravate the toxic effects on chlorophyll synthesis in leaves of alfalfa. The joint effect of Cd 2+ and napropamide was markedly significant ( p < 0.05) on the change of SP content in leaves in all treatment. Moreover, Cd 2+ and napropamide mixture exposure can increase lignin content and present synergistic effect. In a mixture treated with Cd 2+ and napropamide, 52% decrease in β-carotene content contrasted with the control in young leaves. The contents of protein thiols and non-protein thiols in the roots of alfalfa were significantly increased by Cd 2+ treatment in all treatment levels. In contrast, increasing napropamide supply did not have any significant effect on the protein thiols and non-protein thiols content. The Cd 2+ induced accumulation of O 2 •- in seeds could be increased by treatment with different Cd 2+ concentration. Production of H 2 O 2 and O 2 •- was also higher in the napropamide treatments than in the control. The addition of napropamide significantly increased the H 2 O 2 and O 2 •- level in the seeds of alfalfa. Key words : Alfalfa, joint stress, cadmium, napropamide.
