Abstract
- A glasshouse pot experiment was conducted to study the effects of phytoextraction bySedum plumbizincicolaand application of rapeseed cake (RSC) on heavy metal accumulation by a subsequent rice(Oryza sativa L.)crop in a contaminated paddy soil collected from east China. After phytoextraction byS. plumbizincicolathe soil and brown rice Cd concentrations effectively declined. After phytoextraction, RSC application reduced brown rice Cd concentrations in the subsequent rice crop to 0.23–0.28 mg kg−1, almost down to the standard limit (0.2 mg kg−1). After phytoextraction and then application of RSC, the soil solution pH, dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) concentrations increased during early stages of rice growth resulting directly and indirectly in lowering the bioavailability of the heavy metals. Thus the grain yield of the subsequent rice crop increased and the heavy metals in the brown rice declined significantly. In this contaminated acid soil, growing the hyperaccumulatorS. plumbizincicolaand rice in rotation together with RSC application may therefore be regarded as a viable strategy for safe grain production and bioremediation.
