复配钝化剂对稻田重金属有效性及其水稻吸收的影响

针对红壤稻米中重金属Cd超标的问题,通过筛选钝化剂并将其复配用于大田实验,以研究复配钝化剂对土壤有效态重金属(Cd、Pb和Cu)及水稻吸收重金属的影响及其作用机理。室内筛选实验表明,在11种无机和有机钝化剂中,海泡石、生石灰和聚丙烯酰胺对土壤重金属钝化效果较好,使有效态Cd、Pb和Cu分别降低了32.4% ~ 89.2%、19.5% ~ 99.1%和49.4% ~ 92.4%,并将它们确定为复配钝化剂的成分。大田实验结果表明,生石灰、聚丙烯酰胺和海泡石复配对土壤中重金属钝化效果最佳,使有效态Cd、Pb和Cu分别降低了28.6%、20.2%和23.5%(p<0.05),其钝化机制为离子交换和络合作用。而且,该复配钝化剂对土壤化学性质影响最小。复配钝化剂使稻米中Cd的质量分数降低了21.7% ~ 93.1%(p<0.05)。另外,复配钝化剂对土壤微生物丰度和多样性没有显著影响。考虑到土壤的安全性和稳定性,推荐将生石灰、聚丙烯酰胺和海泡石复配钝化剂用于降低红壤稻米对Cd的吸收以确保粮食安全生产。本研究结果可为重金属污染红壤稻田的安全利用提供参考。     

Effects of rapeseed residue on lead and cadmium availability and uptake by rice plants in heavy metal contaminated paddy soil

Rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) has been cultivated for biodiesel production worldwide. Winter rapeseed is commonly grown in the southern part of Korea under a rice-rapeseed double cropping system. In this study, a greenhouse pot experiment was conducted to assess the effects of rapeseed residue applied as a green manure alone or in combinations with mineral N fertilizer on Cd and Pb speciation in the contaminated paddy soil and their availability to rice plant (Oryza sativa L.). The changes in soil chemical and biological properties in response to the addition of rapeseed residue were also evaluated. Specifically, the following four treatments were evaluated: 100% mineral N fertilizer (N100) as a control, 70% mineral N fertilizer + rapeseed residue (N70 + R), 30% mineral N fertilizer + rapeseed residue (N30 + R) and rapeseed residue alone (R). The electrical conductivity and exchangeable cations of the rice paddy soil subjected to the R treatment or in combinations with mineral N fertilizer treatment, N70 + R and N30 + R, were higher than those in soils subjected to the N100 treatment. However, the soil pH value with the R treatment (pH 6.3) was lower than that with N100 treatment (pH 6.9). Use of rapeseed residue as a green manure led to an increase in soil organic matter (SOM) and enhanced the microbial populations in the soil. Sequential extraction also revealed that the addition of rapeseed residue decreased the easily accessible fraction of Cd by 5-14% and Pb by 30-39% through the transformation into less accessible fractions, thereby reducing metal availability to the rice plant. Overall, the incorporation of rapeseed residue into the metal contaminated rice paddy soils may sustain SOM, improve the soil chemical and biological properties, and decrease the heavy metal phytoavailability.     

The influence of pH and organic matter content in paddy soil on heavy metal availability and their uptake by rice plants

The experiments were done to investigate the effect of soil pH and organic matter content on EDTA-extractable heavy metal contents in soils and heavy metal concentrations in rice straw and grains. EDTA-extractable Cr contents in soils and concentrations in rice tissues were negatively correlated with soil pH, but positively correlated with organic matter content. The combination of soil pH and organic matter content would produce the more precise regression models for estimation of EDTA-Cu, Pb and Zn contents in soils, demonstrating the distinct effect of the two factors on the availability of these heavy metals in soils. Soil pH greatly affected heavy metal concentrations in rice plants. Furthermore, inclusion of other soil properties in the stepwise regression analysis improved the regression models for predicting straw Fe and grain Zn concentrations, indicating that other soil properties should be taken into consideration for precise predicting of heavy metal concentrations in rice plants.     

Effects of phosphorus fertilization on the availability and uptake of uranium and nutrients by plants grown on soil derived from uranium mining debris

Subterranean clover and barley were grown on a soil derived from uranium mining debris and fertilized with phosphate as a U immobilizing additive for in situ remediation. We investigated the beneficial effect of P fertilization in the range 0-500 mg P kg(-1) soil in terms of U extractability, plant biomass production and U uptake. Increasing P in the mining debris caused a significant decrease of the water-soluble U and NH(4)-Ac extractable U at pH 7 and 5. For both plant species, P fertilization considerably increased root and shoot dry matter up to a maximum observed for soil receiving 100 mg P kg(-1) while the soil-to-plant transfer of U was regularly decreased by increasing P content in soil. These observations show that P fertilization represents an in situ practical option to facilitate the revegetation of U-mining heaps and to reduce the risks of biota exposure to U contamination.     

Long-term effects of soil heterogeneity on cadmium behaviour in soil

A deterministic model for long-term behaviour of contaminants in the rootzone is developed that includes sorption, leaching, and plant uptake. The model is applied to cadmium accumulation in a sandy soil and uptake of cadmium by barley. Sensitivity analysis showed that the sensitivity of the leaching rate to changes in soil chemical and soil physical parameters decreases as a function of time, and becomes zero when steady state is reached. In contrast, accumulation of cadmium in soil and the plant uptake rate of barley are increasingly sensitive to soil chemical and soil physical parameters as time preceeds. To analyse cadmium behaviour in a field that is heterogeneous with respect to soil physical properties, the interstitial flow velocity was assumed to be a random, lognormally distributed variate. Using Monte Carlo simulation, the average plant uptake rate appeared to be much higher in the stochastic analysis than in the deterministic approach. Steady state is reached after a very long period of time. For a lognormally distributed proton activity, causing heterogeneity with respect to the sorption capacity of the soil, the model predicted similar deviations from the deterministic approach. It is concluded that reference values for groundwater and crop quality are exceeded earlier in a heterogeneous field than in a homogenous soil profile. Moreover, when average values suggest an acceptable situation, variability of the leaching rate and the plant uptake rate can still cause exceedance of reference values in part of the field. Therefore, it is reasoned that environmental quality standards should take soil heterogeneity into account.

Effect of water treatment residuals on soil phosphorus, copper and aluminium availability and toxicity

Water treatment residuals (WTRs) are produced by the treatment of potable water with coagulating agents. Beneficial recycling in agriculture is hampered by the fact that WTRs contain potentially toxic contaminants (e.g. copper and aluminium) and they bind phosphorus strongly. These issues were investigated using a plant bioassay (Lactuca sativa), chemical extractions and an isotopic dilution technique. Two WTRs were applied to an acidic and a neutral pH soil at six rates. Reductions in plant growth in amended soils were due to WTR-induced P deficiency, rather than Al or Cu toxicity. The release of potentially toxic Al from WTRs was found to be mitigated by their alkaline nature and pH buffering capacity. However, acidification of WTRs was shown to release more soluble Al than soil naturally high in Al. Copper availability was relatively low in all treatments. However, the lability of WTR-Cu increased when the WTR was applied to the soil.     

Comparative effects on arsenic uptake between iron (hydro)oxides on root surface and rhizosphere of rice in an alkaline paddy soil

The iron (Fe) (hydro)oxides deposited around rice roots play an important role in arsenic (As) sequestration in paddy soils, but there is no systematic study on the relative importance of Fe (hydro)oxides on root surface and in rhizosphere soil in limiting As bioavailability. Twenty-seven rice genotypes were selected to investigate effects of Fe (hydro)oxides on As uptake by rice in an alkaline paddy soil. Results indicated that the As content was positively correlated with the Fe content on root surface, and most of As (88–97%) was sequestered by poorly crystalline and crystalline Fe (hydro)oxides in the alkaline paddy soil. The As sequestration by Fe (hydro)oxides on root surface (IAS_root 16.8–25.0 mg As/(g Fe)) was much higher than that in rhizosphere (IAS_rhizo 1.4–2.0 mg As/(g Fe)); therefore, in terms of As immobilization, the Fe (hydro)oxides on root surface were more important than that in rhizosphere. However, the As content in brown rice did not have significant correlation with the As content on root surface but was significantly correlated (R²?=?0.43, P?<?0.05) with the partition ratio (PR_As?=?IAS_root/IAS_rhizo) of As sequestration on root surface and in rhizosphere, which suggested that Fe (hydro)oxides on root surface did not play the controlling role in lowering As uptake, and the partition ratio PR_As would be a better indicator to evaluate effects of Fe (hydro)oxides around roots on As uptake by rice.

     

菜籽饼施加对镉-铜污染土壤中重金属形态转化及其植物有效性的影响

选择菜籽饼作为有机物料,模拟水田条件,研究菜籽饼施用后重金属污染土壤中镉-铜的赋存形态的变化及其有效性的影响。结果表明,菜籽饼施加后,土壤pH波动在0.5内,变化较小。但在一定程度促进土壤中镉、铜由弱酸提取态向可还原态转化,残渣态占比变化均较小。经培养一定时间,植物有效态DTPA-Cd由1.26±0.03下降至0.69±0.03,下降幅度约为45.2%,DTPA-Cu由82.9±0.09下降至48.7±0.09,最大下降幅度约为41.3%,下降较为明显。同时,土壤溶液中可溶性碳（DOC）和可溶性氮（DON）的含量显著增加,分别增加约4.14倍和6.48倍,因此,菜籽饼应用于重金属污染水稻土改良,可以间接降低水稻中重金属的含量。     

Open-pit coal-mining effects on rice paddy soil composition and metal bioavailability to Oryza sativa L. plants in Cam Pha, northeastern Vietnam

This study quantified Cd, Pb, and Cu content, and the soil–plant transfer factors of these elements in rice paddies within Cam Pha, Quang Ninh province, northeastern Vietnam. The rice paddies are located at a distance of 2 km from the large Coc Sau open-pit coal mine. Electron microprobe analysis combined with backscattered electron imaging and energy-dispersive spectroscopy revealed a relatively high proportion of carbon particles rimmed by an iron sulfide mineral (probably pyrite) in the quartz–clay matrix of rice paddy soils at 20–30 cm depth. Bulk chemical analysis of these soils revealed the presence of Cd, Cu, and Pb at concentrations of 0.146?±?0.004, 23.3?±?0.1, and 23.5?±?0.1 mg/kg which exceeded calculated background concentrations of 0.006?±?0.004, 1.9?±?0.5, and 2.4?±?1.5 mg/kg respectively at one of the sites. Metals and metalloids in Cam Pha rice paddy soils, including As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Hg, Mn, Ni, Pb, and Zn, were found in concentrations ranging from 0.2?±?0.1 to 140?±?3 mg/kg, which were in close agreement with toxic metal contents in mine tailings and Coc Sau coal samples, suggesting mining operations as a major cause of paddy soil contamination. Native and model Oryza sativa L. rice plants were grown in the laboratory in a growth medium to which up to 1.5 mg/kg of paddy soil from Cam Pha was added to investigate the effects on plant growth. A decrease in growth by up to 60 % with respect to a control sample was found for model plants, whereas a decrease of only 10 % was observed for native (Nep cai hoa vang variety) rice plants. This result suggests an adaptation of native Cam Pha rice plants to toxic metals in the agricultural lands. The Cd, Cu, and Pb contents of the native rice plants from Cam Pha paddies exceeded permitted levels in foods. Cadmium and Pb were highest in the rice plant roots with concentrations of 0.84?±?0.02 and 7.7?±?0.3 mg/kg, suggesting an intake of these metals into the rice plant as shown, for example, by Cd and Pb concentrations of 0.09?±?0.01 and 0.10?±?0.04 mg/kg respectively in the rice grain endosperm. The adaptation of native rice plants, combined with bioaccumulation ratios of 1?±?0.6 to 1.4?±?0.7 calculated for Cd transfer to the rice grain endosperm, and maximum Cd transfer factors of 4.3?±?2.1 to the plant roots, strongly suggest a continuous input of some toxic metals from coal-mining operations to agricultural lands in the region of Cam Pha. In addition, our results imply a sustained absorption of metals by native rice plant varieties, which may lead to metal accumulation (e.g., Cd) in human organs and in turn to severe disease.

Long-term tillage effects on soil metolachlor sorption and desorption behavior

Sorption and desorption are two important processes that influence the amount of pesticides retained by soils. However, the detailed sorption mechanisms as influenced by soil tillage management are unclear. This study examined the sorption and desorption characteristics of metolachlor [2-chloro-N-(2-ethyl-6-methyphenyl)-N-(2-methoxy-1-methylethyl)-acetamide] using the soil samples collected from the long-term conservation tillage (CnT) and conventional tillage (CT) research plots established in 1979 in Darlinton, SC. Humic acid (HA) and humin were extracted from the soils and used in the sorption experiments along with the whole soil samples. The sorption experiments were conducted using a batch-equilibration method. Three sequential desorption rinses were carried out following the sorption experiments. By comparing metolachlor sorption and desorption results we observed hysteresis for all soil samples and their organic matter fractions. Sorption nonlinearity (N) and hysteresis were dependent on the structure and composition of soil organic matter (SOM), e.g., Freundlich isotherm exponents (N) of HA and humin from CnT were higher than those of CT treatment, which may be related to high aromaticity of SOM fractions in CT treatment. Sorption capacity (K'f) was positively correlated with soil organic carbon (SOC) content. These results show that long-term tillage management can greatly affect metolachlor sorption and desorption behavior probably by qualitative differences in the structural characteristics of the humic substances.

Content and distribution of forms of organic N in soil and particle size fractions after long-term fertilization

Most of the N in surface soils occurs in organic forms, and when mineralized it plays a key role in soil fertility and plant nutrition. Our objective was to study the effect of long-term applications of organic manure on the content and distribution of forms of organic N in bulk soil and soil particle size fractions to characterize the inherent soil nitrogen fertility. Five treatments were as follows: (1) CK (no fertilizer and no manure added), (2) mineral fertilizer only, (3) straw + NPK, (4) green manure + NPK and (5) pig manure + NPK. Soil particle size fractions (0-2, 2-10, 10-50 and 50-100 microm) were isolated without chemical pretreatment by ultrasonic dispersion in water followed by sedimentation. The content of total N and forms of organic N in the bulk soil increased after long-term fertilization, and the effect varied with fertilizer type. The plot treated with only mineral fertilizer gave the highest NH3-N and the lowest amino sugar-N content in all treatments. The highest content of amino sugar-N and amino acid-N was found in the treatment of pig manure + NPK. The content (g kg(-1) fraction) of hydrolysable N within size fractions was in the order 0-2 > 2-10 > 50-100 > 10-50 microm, but the contribution of different size fraction to hydrolysable N decreased in the sequence 10-50 > 0-2 > 2-10 > 50-100 microm. Most of the applied mineral fertilizer N that remained in soils was distributed in the particle size fraction < 2 microm while most of the remaining N from manure applied with NPK was transferred into amino sugar-N in each size fraction, and amino acid-N in the size fractions > 2 microm during the process of humification.     

Interaction of soil pH and phosphorus efficacy: Long-term effects of P fertilizer and lime applications on wheat,barley, and sugar beet

Phosphorus (P), a plant macronutrient, must be adequately supplied for crop growth. In Germany, many soils are high in plant-available P; specifically in arable farming, P fertilizer application has been reduced or even omitted in the last decade. Therefore, it is important to understand how long these soils can support sustainable crop production, and what concentrations of soil P are required for it. We analyzed a 36-year long-term field experiment regarding the effects of different P application and liming rates on plant growth and soil P concentrations with a crop rotation of sugar beet, wheat, and barley. Sugar beet reacted to low soil P and low soil pH levels more sensitively than wheat, which was not significantly affected by the long-term omitted P application. All three crop species showed adequate growth at soil P levels lower than the currently recommended levels, if low soil pH was optimized by liming. The increase in efficacy of soil and fertilizer P by reduced P application rates therefore requires the adaptation of the soil pH to a soil type-specific optimal level.     

Effect of systemic herbicides on N2-fixing and phosphate solubilizing microorganisms in relation to availability of nitrogen and phosphorus in paddy soils of West Bengal

A field experiment has been conducted with four systemic herbicides viz., butachlor [N-(butoxymethyl)-2-chloro-2',6'-diethyl-acetanilide], fluchloralin [N-(2-chloroethyl)-(2,6-dinitro-N-propyl-4-trifluoromethyl) aniline], oxadiazon [5-terbutyl-3-(2,4-dichloro-5-isopro poxyphenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-one] and oxyfluorfen [2-chloro-1-(3-ethoxy-4-nitrophenyl)-4-(trifluoromethyl) benzene] at their recommended field rates (2.0, 1.5, 0.4 and 0.12kga.i.ha(-1), respectively) to investigate their effects on growth and activities of aerobic non-symbiotic N(2)-fixing bacteria and phosphate solubilizing microorganisms in relation to availability of nitrogen and phosphorus in the rhizosphere soils as well as yield of the rice crop (Oryza sativa L cv. IR-36). Application of herbicides, in general, highly stimulated the population and activities of the target microorganisms, which resulted in a greater amount of atmospheric nitrogen fixation and phosphate solubilization in the rhizosphere soils of the test crop. The greater microbial activities subsequently augmented the mineralization and availability of nitrogen and phosphorus in the soil solution, which in turn increased the yield of the crop. Among the herbicides, oxyfluorfen was most stimulative followed by fluchloralin and oxadiazon in augmenting the microbial activities in soil. Butachlor also accentuated the mineralization and availability of nitrogen due to higher incitement of non-symbiotic N(2)-fixing bacteria in paddy soil. The grain and straw yields of the crop were also significantly increased due to the application of oxyfluorfen (20.2% and 21%) followed by fluchloralin (13.1% and 15.4%) and butachlor (9.1% and 10.2%), respectively.

Effect of o-phenylenediamine on Cu adsorption and desorption in red soil and its uptake by paddy rice (Oryza sativa)

A study was carried out of Cu adsorption and desorption processes in red soil as affected by o-phenylenediamine (o-PD) in the range 0-80 mg/l. The results indicated that the presence of o-PD enhanced Cu adsorption in red soil in weakly acid media, meanwhile, desorption percentage of Cu from soil, extracted by 1.0 M MgCl(2), also increased when Cu adsorption in soil occurred in the presence of o-PD. The response of paddy rice to Cu in red soil shows that Cu toxicity was mitigated in the presence of o-PD and that the Cu concentration in rice straw decreased with increasing concentration of o-PD from 0 to 4.0 mmol/kg in soil. The fractions of background Cu in soil did not change noticeably in the presence of o-PD, whereas the effect of o-PD on the fractions of added Cu was significant. It was found that the exchangeable and carbonate bound Cu fractions decreased and the fraction of Cu bound to Fe-Mn oxides and organic matter increased with increasing o-PD concentration in soil when Cu was added at the same rate. Copper concentration in rice straw was significantly correlated with exchangeable Cu (r=0.961) and carbonate bound Cu (r=0.959) in soil. This result implicates that the behavior of Cu in soil is likely to be affected by organic pollutants containing amino groups.
