Abstract:
      To study the effects of different agronomic measures on heavy metal bioavailability in vegetable-soil systems, in this study, water spinach, which can adapt to both water submersion cultivation and dry farming conditions, was chosen as the research subject. The aim of the study was to compare the effects of applying soil amendments(lime or biochar) on Pb and Cd accumulation by water spinach using different cultivation methods in the soil artificially polluted with a combination of high concentrations of Pb and Cd. In addition, the changes in soil physical and chemical properties and available heavy metal contents under different agronomic measures were analyzed to reveal the influential mechanisms. It turned out that under the two cultivation methods, water spinach showed different accumulation effects of heavy metals and soil heavy metal availabilities. Applying lime under water submersion cultivation conditions could reduce the available contents of Pb and Cd in soil more effectively than that under dry farming conditions. Additionally, under water submersion cultivation conditions, applying both lime and biochar could reduce the Pb and Cd contents in vegetables as the yield increased, but the effect of applying 6 g biochar·kg-1 soil was the best. In summary, compared with dry farming, applying soil amendments under water submersion cultivation conditions could affect Pb and Cd accumulation characteristics in the soil-plant system more.
