The invention relates to a safe crop production technique in the polluted environment, in particular to a method for selecting crop varieties with low heavy metal accumulation. A crop is cultured in heavy metal-processed soil by way of pot experiment, the temperature is 5 DEG C to 40 DEG C, the soil moisture content is 40 percent to 90 percent of the field moisture capacity, the crop is cultured under the natural light for 50 to 170 days, plants are harvested, and the heavy metal content of edible parts is measured; the selected crop seeds, the edible parts of which have the heavy metal content lower than 30 percent of the heavy metal content of the edible parts of the conventional crop variety, are directly dibbled in the polluted field soil, three to six seeds are planted in each hole, the distance between holes is 10cm to 60cm, the distance between ridges is 10cm to 60cm, ripened plants are harvested, the heavy metal content of edible parts is measured, and if both the heavy metal enrichment coefficient and heavy metal transfer coefficient of the crop are less than 1.0, the crop is a crop with low heavy metal accumulation. The invention has the advantages of economy, high economic safety, high applicability and simple use method.
