Effects of FeSO4 on Root Iron Plaque and Migration and Transportation of Cd in Contaminated Paddy Soil
A kind of contaminated paddy soil was taken for pot experiment by adding FeSO4 to investigate the impact of FeSO4 on the formation of iron plaques on the root surface and the migration of the Cd from Cd-contaminated paddy soil.Results show that with the addition of FeSO4 increased from 0 to 320 mg/kg,the pH value of the paddy soil tends to decline,maximally by 0.70.The TCLP-Cd content in the potting soil rises to a certain extent compared to the control group.The addition of FeSO4 significantly reduces the Cd content in leaves,husks,and brown rice,as well as effectively increases the amount of root iron plaque,thus the absorption of Cd in the soil by rice is moderately controlled.However,the addition of external iron resource can bring impact to the pH of soil and bioavailability of Cd,so it is recommended that in practical operation,FeSO4 should be added with some alkaline restorative materials such as lime to contaminated paddy fields for enhancing the control.
