Article Synopsis
  • Soil amendments significantly influence how cadmium (Cd) is distributed within different soil aggregate sizes, with mineral and microbial types promoting Cd transfer to smaller fractions while organic amendments increase Cd loading in larger aggregates.* -
  • Advanced techniques like synchrotron radiation-based infrared spectroscopy and nano-scale mass spectrometry were used to analyze the effects of these amendments on Cd behavior in soil, revealing complex interactions with minerals and carbon.* -
  • Findings suggest that mineral and microbial amendments can improve the management of Cd contamination in agricultural soils by promoting its stability in finer soil fractions.*

Using low Cd accumulation cultivars and managing field water regimes are effective measures to mitigate Cd accumulations in rice grains. However, the effect of the cultivar-water condition interaction (CWI) on grain Cd accumulations has largely been ignored. To solve this problem, pot and hydroponic experiments were conducted using 14 rice cultivars and two contrasting water conditions.

Large areas of the paddy fields in South China are contaminated with arsenic (As), which causes serious problems, including high As concentrations in brown rice. Three As-resistant iron-oxidizing bacteria (FeOB) namely, Bacillus sp. T2, Pseudomonas sp.

Large areas of paddy fields in mining areas in south China have been contaminated by mixed Cd and As. To test the possibility of using organic manure (OM) as a method of reducing Cd and As accumulation in brown rice and increase the grain yield in such paddy fields, two rice cultivars [Jianyou G2 (JY) and Fengyousimiao (FY)] and three amounts of OM (0, 0.5, 1.
