Abstract:

To study the effect of the application of soil amendment on the Cd availability in soil and the Cd content in brown rice, a continuous three-year field experiment was conducted in two different textures of Cd contaminated paddy soil in Xiaojia Town, Hengyang City, Hunan Province. The results indicated that: (1) continuous application of soil amendment (2250 kg/hm2 and 3000 kg/hm2) for three years significantly increased the paddy soil pH in Jinxing Village and Niuling Village, and reduced the content of available Cd in soil by 14.1%-50.0% and 16.9%-49.4%, respectively; (2) continuous application of soil amendment for three years significantly increased the rice yield in Jinxing Village and Niuling Village, and reduced the Cd content in brown rice by 40.4%-62.9% and 40.0%-64.1%, respectively. Moreover, the Cd content in brown rice in both areas was 0.15-0.18 mg/kg under the treatment of applying 3000 kg/hm2 amendment, lower than the National Standards for Food Safety (GB2762—2022); (3) the net income of farmers in both areas increased significantly by 1603-2912 and 2282-3408 yuan/hm2, respectively, under the treatment of applying 3000 kg/hm2 amendment. Therefore, the application of soil amendment was a remediation technology that can achieve safe production in mildly Cd contaminated paddy soil.
