Abstract:
      A pot experiment using a rhizo-bag system filled with soil and sand was conducted to investigate if rice growth was influenced by Fenton Reaction induced by hydrogen peroxide at micro molar level from simulated rain water in arsenic and/or cadmium contaminated paddy soil under all-time flooding and partial flooding. Results show that the Fenton Reaction significantly improved the dry weight and fresh weight of rice at tillering stage in the treatment with 30 mg As·kg-1 soil, and at maturing stage in the treatment with both 30 mg As·kg-1 soil and 0.3 mg Cd·kg-1 soil. Fenton Reaction also improved the weight of rice grain in treatments with 0.3 mg Cd·kg-1 soil and 3 mg Cd·kg-1 soil. These findings prove that Fenton Reaction could reduce the negative impacts of arsenic and cadmium contamination on rice growth and increase rice biomass and yield.
