Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of agricultural technology, specifically to a cadmium-inhibiting compound foliar spray for rice and its application method. Background Technology
[0002] Rice, a typical cadmium-accumulating crop, has a cadmium accumulation coefficient in its grains as high as 0.5-1.0, seriously threatening food security. Existing physical and chemical remediation methods are costly and easily damage soil structure, while phytoremediation technologies have long cycles, making large-scale promotion difficult.
[0003] Currently, foliar cadmium-reducing agents for rice mainly rely on single-function substances. For example, chelating agents can promote cadmium fixation, but they are prone to causing secondary pollution and inhibiting the absorption of beneficial elements such as selenium; silicates have limited effectiveness in moderately to heavily polluted soils and require frequent spraying (3-5 times / season); plant hormones (such as brassinolide) have poor stability, are easily deactivated by photodegradation, and it is difficult to achieve both yield increase and cadmium reduction efficiency; selenium preparations may cause selenium overdose when used alone, and their antagonistic effect with cadmium is significantly limited by pH value.
[0004] Aspartic acid can reduce cadmium absorption by competitively inhibiting the expression of cadmium transport proteins; sodium selenite can induce plants to synthesize metallothionein to fix cadmium; and melatonin can alleviate cadmium toxicity by enhancing the antioxidant system. Current technology has not yet achieved synergistic compatibility of these three substances in foliar spraying.
[0005] This invention innovatively combines aspartic acid, sodium selenite, and melatonin in a highly efficient synergistic manner, enabling the compound preparation to exert a prominent synergistic effect and significantly reduce the cadmium content in brown rice. Summary of the Invention

The compound foliar spray has the following components: aspartic acid concentration of 5-10 mg / L; sodium selenite concentration of 50-100 mg / L; melatonin concentration of 30-50 μmol / L; and the remainder is water.

[0040] Experimental period: Late rice season of 2024 Experimental setup: Examples 1-2 and Comparative Examples 1-7 were single-treatment areas, and the entire field was divided into 36 plots, each with an area of 20m². 2 A 25cm space was left between each plot, and no field ridges were set up. All plots were located in the same field, with completely identical growing environment, soil fertility, and other conditions. Each treatment area consisted of 4 plots (4 replicates), for a total of 9 treatment areas. Treatment areas 1-9 were the foliar sprays used in Examples 1-2 and Comparative Examples 1-7, respectively.
