A field experiment was conducted in a strictly controlled area of a soil cadmium(Cd)-contaminated paddy field to investigate the effects of flooding irrigation combined with lime and soil passivators on the availability of Cd in soil, Cd uptake, and accumulation in rice. The results showed that flooding irrigation combined with passivators could effectively reduce Cd availability in the soil and Cd uptake and accumulation in rice. The soil pH under the treatment of flooding irrigation combined with lime and soil passivators was increased by 0...
