Soil contamination by heavy metals such as cadmium (Cd +2 ) represents a threat to the environment and public health; Its toxicity and capacity for bioaccumulation in living beings has made it a problem of great global relevance. The objective of this study was to determine the concentration of Cd using the flame absorption spectrometry technique in leaves of corn (Zea mays L.) grown in soils of basic and acidic pH in San Vicente de Cañete; Corn was grown in pots with 5 kg of acidic and basic soils contaminated with three levels of Cd: low level 1.5 mg/kg, medium level 2.5 mg/kg and high level 5 mg/kg (milligram of Cd per kilogram of dry soil ) sampling the leaves 60 days after sowing, the research was carried out under a complete randomized design (DCA), with a 2x3 factorial arrangement with 4 repetitions per treatment. The factors under study were: acidic and basic pH soils (factor A) and low, medium and high Cd doses (factor B). The results obtained showed a higher concentration of Cd in the leaves of corn grown in the basic soil compared to the acid soil for the three treatments, as well as the type of soil, the concentration levels of Cd in the soil and the interaction of these two. factors, had a significant effect on the concentration of Cd in the corn leaves, it could also be shown by the Tukey statistic that there are also significant differences between the three treatments, concluding that the highest concentration of Cd in the corn leaves was found in the soil's basic pH, being influenced by concentration levels.
