Abstract:

The purpose of this experiment is to ensure the quality safety of brown rice, and reduce the bioavailability of soil Cd and the content of Cd in brown rice. In this study, four biochar-based conditioners were used as materials to evaluate their effects on reducing Cd bioavailability in soil and inhibiting Cd absorption, transportation and accumulation in rice plants in field. The results showed that after applying the four biochar-based conditioners (biochar+zeolite BZ, biochar+zeolite+organic fertilizer BZM, biochar+iron powder BFe, biochar+calcium magnesium phosphate fertilizer BP), the yield of both spring and autumn brown rice increased by 4.41%-21.18%, of which BZM and BP treatments were better and increased the yield of spring rice more significantly. The sum of Cd bioaccumulation factors (BCF) in autumn rice was significantly higher than that in spring rice (1.07-3.75 times). The Cd content of brown rice could be reduced to 0.03-0.23 mg/kg by applying the four biochar-based conditioners. Except the Cd content of autumn brown rice under BZ treatment, the Cd content of brown rice under all the other treatments could conform to the limit of the National Standard for Food Safety. BP was the most effective conditioner in reducing Cd content in brown rice and increasing rice yield. The results indicated that biochar-based conditioners had a certain value for the remediation of Cd-polluted paddy soil, and BP had more potential value in neutral or weakly alkaline soil.
