To explore the remediation mechanism of chitosan-modified biochar (passivator) on Cd-contaminated farmland soil, pot experiments were conducted to determine the effects of passivator on soil physical and chemical properties, ryegrass biomass, enzyme activity, and the response of soil bacterial diversity and structure. The results showed that when the amount of passivating agent was increased from 0.5% to 3%, the content of available Cd in soil was significantly decreased compared with that in the control, and the above-ground and subsurface biomass of ryegrass was increased by 1.08-1.56 times and 1.00-1.68 times, respectively. The enrichment and running coefficients were reduced by 6.15%-30.00% and 10.42%-31.25%, respectively. The correlation analysis results showed that soil pH, CEC, SOM, AN, AP, and AK were significantly negatively correlated with DTPA-Cd, indicating that the application of a passivating agent promoted the passivation of Cd in soil by changing the physical and chemical properties of soil. High-throughput sequencing results showed that the application of the inactivation agent changed the structure and diversity of the soil bacterial community, which was manifested as a significant decrease in diversity, significant isolation of bacteria between different treatment groups, and an increase in the relative abundance of beneficial bacteria such as and Moreover, the activities of soil urease and cellulase increased, whereas the activities of sucrase and catalase decreased with the addition of a passivator. This study provides a theoretical basis and technical reference for the application of modified biochar in the remediation of Cd-contaminated farmland soil.

Dietary intake is a predominant pathway of human exposure to environmental Cadmium (Cd), but wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) has not received enough concerns for its risk of Cd contamination. A field survey of Cd-contaminated rice-wheat rotation farmlands in China provided detailed comparison of Cd accumulation capacity by rice and wheat grains.

In response to the safety risks posed by cadmium (Cd)-contaminated rice fields worldwide, a suitable production-and-restoration strategy is required for actual agricultural practices. To investigate the remediation effects of different accumulation varieties in rapeseed-rice cropping systems and their influence on Cd migration and transportation, field experiments were conducted based on different planting combinations (FWHR, conventional rice variety (HR) monoculture under fallow; FWLR, low Cd-accumulating rice variety (LR) monoculture under fallow; LOLR, LO (low Cd-accumulating rapeseed variety)-LR rotation; LOHR, LO-HR rotation; HOLR, HO (high Cd-accumulating rapeseed variety)-LR rotation; HOHR, HO-HR rotation). The study found that a rapeseed and rice rotation with appropriate varieties could reduce the rice grain Cd content, increase rice yield, and remove soil Cd without affecting agricultural production efficiency.

Our previous work shown that boron (B) can inhibit cadmium (Cd) absorption in winter wheat, while the mechanism is not well understood. In this study, the mechanism of foliage spray B on Cd uptake in Cd-contaminated farmland was characterized with three treatments: spraying distilled water (CK), spraying 0.3% B fertilizer (F0.

The existing efficiency indicators for phytoremediation cannot fully characterise the economic costs and application potential of remediation plants. In this study, we proposed a new strategy for selecting remediation plants based on economic indicators (cost per unit of heavy metal removal). Based on field experiments and data collection, we conducted cost-benefit analyses under various scenarios to compare the application prospects of four cadmium (Cd)-accumulators (Hylotelephium spectabile, Sedum alfredii, Sedum plumbizincicola and tobacco) on slightly Cd-contaminated farmland soil.
