In experiments on water culture of maize plants the possibility of using of the radiocapacity factor as a sensitive indicator of a state of plants in conditions of independent and combined action of gamma irradiation and cadmium chloride has been shown. It is shown that dynamics of the offered characteristic correlates with dynamics of growth’ parameters, displaying character of action of negative factors. The quantitative characteristic of nonadditivities of interaction of radiation and toxic factors – the synergism coefficient has been developed on the basis of the radiocapacity theory. Also use of a method of definition of the radiocapacity factor of sprouts of maize as a biotic component of modelling monoecosystem has allowed revealing effect of adaptation in experiments with using adaptive schemes.
