To reduce Cd phytoavailability in calcareous soils, the effects of soil amendments of red mud, rape straw, and corn straw in combination with zinc fertilization on Cd extractability and phytoavailability to spinach, tomato, Chinese cabbage and radish were investigated in a calcareous soil with added Cd at 1.5 mg kg-1. The results showed that water soluble and exchangeable Cd in soils was significantly decreased by the amendments themselves from 26% to 70%, which resulted in marked decrease by approximately from 34% to 77% in Cd concentration in vegetables. The amendments plus Zn fertilization further decreased the Cd concentration in vegetables. Also cruciferous rape straw was more effective than gramineous corn straw. In all treatments, rape straw plus red mud combined with Zn fertilization was most effective in decreasing Cd phytoavailability in soils, and it is potential to be an efficient and cost-effective measure to ensure food safety for vegetable production in mildly Cd-contaminated calcareous soils.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how dissolved organic matter (DOM) from straw affects mercury (Hg) dynamics in soil and plants, particularly focusing on its impact on methylmercury (MeHg) accumulation.
- Results show that straw-derived DOM increases MeHg levels in soil and water spinach, but humified DOM can reduce these levels significantly.
- Additionally, interactions between humified DOM and clay minerals (like montmorillonite) play a crucial role in either promoting or inhibiting Hg methylation and accumulation in plants.
Analysis of the phytoremediation potential, rice safety, and economic benefits of light to moderate Cd-contaminated farmland in oilseed rape-rice rotation with straw removal: A three-year field trial.

Under the dual pressures of food security and soil cadmium (Cd) pollution in China, the use of an oilseed rape-rice rotation system and phytoremediation has been proposed as an effective measure to extract heavy metals from soil, achieve safe rice production, and alleviate soil heavy metal stress. A three-year field rotation experiment by straw removal was conducted in light to moderate Cd-contaminated soil in Hunan, China. The experiment involved rotating two oilseed rape varieties, LSYH and ZYZ, with two rice varieties, the low-accumulation variety XWX and the high-accumulation variety TYHZ.

To investigate the effects of the combined addition of and sucrose on the fermentation weight loss (FWL), fermentation quality, and microbial community structure of ensiled rape straw under varying packing density conditions. After harvesting, the rapeseed straw was collected, cut into 1-2 cm pieces, and sprayed with sterile water to adjust the moisture content to 60%. The straw was then divided into two groups: one treated with additives (1 × 10 CFU/g fresh material of and 10 kg/t fresh material of sucrose), and the other sprayed with an equivalent amount of sterile water as the control (CK).

Elucidating the influence of straw structure and component on the feeding efficacy of yellow mealworm is pivotal for improving insect protein production from straw. This research utilized four distinct types of straws-water hyacinth straw (WHS), corn straw (CS), rape straw (RAS), and rice straw (RIS)-as the sole substrate for larvae. Results indicated that the straw utilization rate and fresh larval weight gain rate followed the order of WHS > CS > RAS > RIS.

Wastewater containing phosphorus is often added by industrial activities, which is bad for the environment. In this study, composite biochar (PG-RS700) was prepared from phosphogypsum (PG) and rape straw (RS) for the treatment of phosphate in wastewater. SEM, FTIR, XRD and XPS characterization results showed that PG and RS were successfully combined.
