The Effects of Reducing Nitrogen and Increasing Density in the Main Crop on Yield and Cadmium Accumulation of Ratoon Rice by Qinqin Tian, Dechao Zheng, Pingping Chen, Shuai Yuan, Zhenxie Yi

“…Reducing N fertilizer application could increase the pH, reduce the concentration of available Cd in the soil and consequently reduce the Cd bioaccumulation factor of various tissues of ratoon rice and the Cd translocation factor from roots and stems to brown rice. Considering both the yield and the Cd concentration in brown rice, N2M2 was the optimal treatment of reducing N and increasing density, which could maintain a relatively high yield while significantly reducing the Cd concentration.…”
