Article Synopsis
- Sulfur-fertilizer is widely used in agriculture to both enhance crop growth and reduce mercury (Hg) contamination in soil, but its effects on Hg transport and transformation in complex paddy conditions are still unclear.
- The study investigates how adding sulfate at different stages of rice growth affects Hg release and MeHg accumulation, finding that early application increases Hg and MeHg levels, while late application reduces them.
- The research highlights the importance of timing in sulfur-fertilizer application to minimize Hg bioavailability and MeHg production, suggesting that better management could enhance environmental safety in rice paddies.
