Article Synopsis
- Arsenic and silicon interact in rice plants, with silicon reducing arsenic accumulation; a two-year field study suggests using alternating wetting and drying (AWD) irrigation to enhance silicon availability.
- AWD improves rice yields by 8.4% to 10% during different seasons while also reducing arsenic bioavailability by up to 26%, proving to be economically beneficial for farmers.
- The study highlights AWD's positive impact on soil health and microbial diversity, supporting sustainable development goals by using less groundwater and promoting better agricultural practices.
