Abstract:

To solve the problem of heavy metal cadmium pollution in vegetable soil in mountainous areas of Enshi by applying different passivators, the passivation effects of different passivators on cadmium in soil and on the yield, quality and cadmium content of pakchoi were investigated by pot experiments. Five treatments were set up, including biochar, hydroxyapatite, lime powder, fly ash and mixed organic passivator. The results showed that the fresh weight and plant height of pakchoi were promoted by the treatments except lime powder, and the fresh weight of pakchoi increased by 109.72% in the fly ash treatment. Meanwhile, soil pH increased by 25.18%, 36.61% and 28.21% in the hydroxyapatite, lime powder and mixed organic passivator treatments, respectively. All treatments had no significant effect on the activities of urease, cellulase and sucrase in the soil. The biochar and mixed organic passivator treatments significantly increased phosphatase activity by 52.85% and 69.82%, while the lime powder treatment significantly inhibited the activity. Five treatments all reduced the cadmium content of pakchoi. Among them, biochar, hydroxyapatite, lime powder and mixed organic passivator all achieved significant inhibition effects on cadmium absorption, and the effect of lime powder was the best, reducing the cadmium content by 73.80%. All treatments had no significant effect on the quality of pakchoi. In addition, the biochar and mixed organic passivator treatments reduced the total cadmium content in soil by 27.21% and 46.98%, respectively, and the lime powder and mixed organic passivator treatments reduced the ion-exchange cadmium content by 43.67% and 47.35%, respectively. In conclusion, the application of the five passivators can reduce the cadmium content of pakchoi. Among them, the mixed organic passivator treatment can not only enhance enzyme activity, but also reduce the proportion of total cadmium and available cadmium (ionic and water-soluble) in soil without affecting the yield and quality of pakchoi.
