Abstract:
      This study aimed to investigate the effects of different dosages of biochar-based fertilizers on the growth and development of early season rice and the migration and accumulation of Cd in various rice organs under the incorporation of Astragalus sinicus. Five treatments were set up through pot experiments:control[A. sinicus in lieu of 30% nitrogen fertilizer + 70% nitrogen (FNG30)], 30% A. sinicus + 10% biochar-based fertilizers + 60% nitrogen (FNG30B10), 30% A. sinicus + 20% biochar-based fertilizers + 50% nitrogen (FNG30B20), 30% A. sinicus + 30% biochar-based fertilizers + 40% nitrogen (FNG30B30), and 30% A. sinicus + 40% biochar-based fertilizers + 30% nitrogen (FNG30B40). The results showed that compared with the control group, different dosages of biochar-based fertilizers could increase yield in rice grains. The yield in rice grains improved with the increase in the dosage of biochar-based fertilizers. The application of biochar-based fertilizers could reduce the Cd content in brown rice, compared to that in the control group; the decrease with each treatment application of biochar-based fertilizers was:FNG30B30 (29.2%) > FNG30B20 (20.8%) > FNG30B40 (19.6%) > FNG30B10 (8.3%). Biochar-based fertilizers could inhibit the transport of Cd from rice root to above ground parts, and the inhibition effect was most evident when the dosage of biochar fertilizers was 30%. At this point, the ability to transport Cd from rice husk to brown rice was also the lowest. To summarize, with the incorporation of A. sinicus, the application of biochar-based fertilizers can effectively reduce the risk of Cd pollution in the rice field. In addition, when the dosage of biochar-based fertilizers is 30%, the treatment effect on Cd pollution in the rice field is the best.
