Abstract:

To screen suitable foliar control agents for rice production on Cd contaminated soil in karst area of Guizhou, field experiments were carried out in typical paddy fields with excessive Cd in central Guizhou. Five foliar control agents were sprayed at tillering and heading stages as treatments, denoted as SI, SE, GWY, FE, ZN, respectively, with no foliar control agent applied as control (CK). Rice plant samples were collected at mature stage to explore the effects of foliar control agents on Cd migration and translocation in various parts of rice. It was shown that application of foliar control agents had no significant effect on soil pH, organic matter and Cd content. Under the treatment of SE, GWY, ZN and SI, the rice yield was significantly (P<0.05) increased than that of CK by 13.56%, 5.77%, 5.74% and 7.30%, respectively. Compared with CK, the highest reduction rate of Cd in brown rice was found under Zn treatment (56.5%), which was followed by the treatment of SE (52.3%) and GWY (39.4%). Compared with CK, the enrichment coefficient of Cd in stem nodes was decreased by 44.8% under SE treatment; the enrichment coefficient of Cd in panicle axis and brown rice was decreased by 55.0% and 58.0%, respectively, under ZN treatment; the enrichment coefficient of Cd in leaf was increased by 133.7% under SI treatment. The Cd transport coefficient from branch to rice husk was decreased by 65.8% and 40.8% under the treatment of SE and SI as compared with CK. In conclusion, the treatment of SE, GWY and ZN could increase rice yield, decrease Cd content in brown rice, and regulate the enrichment and transport of Cd in various parts of rice plant. Thus, these foliar control agents could be used to safeguard the utilization of Cd-contaminated cultivated land in central Guizhou.
