Abstract—In order to tackle the problem of Cd pollution in level of mg·Cd kg-1 set by the state for the pollution-free rice paddy soils and investigate soil available Cd as affected by production. nitrogen fertilizers, incubation and pot experiments were carried Keywords-nitrogen fertilizer; paddy rice; soil available cadmium; out to study effects of different nitrogen fertilizers and rates of cadmium uptake urea on cadmium uptake by paddy rice and soil available Cd I. INTRODUCTION under water flooding condition. Results revealed that soil pH Cadmium (Cd) is one of the important environmental increased sharply after the soil was flooded, especially at the pollutants. It goes in the human body by the food chain and is b
