Abstract:

To investigate the effects of zeolite and Ca-Mg-based bentonite on the passivation of cadmium in calcareous soil in Northern China and the growth of pakchoi,a pot experiment was conducted to study the effects of two modifiers(mass fraction of zeolite was 0.5%,1.0%,2.0% and mass fraction of calcium-magnesium bentonite was 0.2%,0.3%,0.4%,0.5%,0.6%,0.8%)on pH value,available cadmium content of calcareous cadmium-contaminated soil in Northern China and cadmium content,dry matter accumulation and chlorophyll content of aboveground part of pakchoi.The results showed that compared with the control,adding different doses of zeolite could increase the soil pH value.With the increasing of zeolite application dose,the available cadmium content of soil,the aboveground cadmium content,the dry matter accumulation and chlorophyll content of pakchoi decreased gradually.The germination rate of pakchoi increased gradually,but the effects of zeolite treatments on the indexes determined in the experiment were not significant.The application of Ca-Mg-based bentonite significantly increased the soil pH value(0.70—1.07)and decreased the Cd content in the aboveground part of pakchoi(63.83%—93.62%).The aboveground dry matter accumulation(5.56%—29.22%)and chlorophyll content(5.42%—11.72%)of pakchoi increased,and the soil available cadmium content significantly decreased by a higher dose(≥0.4%).However,the germination rate of pakchoi decreased significantly and inhibited germination.The research showed that Ca-Mg-based bentonite was more suitable for the passivation of cadmium in calcareous soil in Northern China than zeolites.The content of available cadmium in calcareous soil and the content of cadmium in the aboveground part of pakchoi could reduce by applying Ca-Mg-based bentonite.However,the amount of application should be strictly controlled to avoid affecting the germination of pakchoi and reducing yield.The comprehensive analysis of quality and yield factors showed that the addition of 0.3% Ca-Mg-based bentonite could effectively reduce the aboveground cadmium content of pakchoi and increase the aboveground dry matter accumulation and chlorophyll content of pakchoi.
