Abstract
In this experiment, effects of phosphorus (P) in reducing arsenic (As) uptake in paddy were studied under hydroponic system. The result recorded non-significance effect of As over number of leaves of rice. There was a considerable decrease in shoot height, shoot fresh weight and dry weight. Addition of 40 ppm P improved plant height, shoot fresh and dry weight, root length, root fresh weight and root dry weight, significantly. N and K content, were improved with increased P application. Highest shoot P content of 0.38% and shoot K content of 1.75% were recorded in treatment T9. A similar pattern was also found for rice root, where highest P content of 0.49% and K content of 2.86% were recorded in treatment T9. Highest shoot As of 931 μg kg-1 and root As of 1.61 mg kg-1 were found in the treatment T1. Addition of 40 ppm P significantly lowered the shoot As content to 548.67 μg kg-1 which was 69.68% decrease and 2.09 times decrease in root As was found as compared to control (treatment T1). Finally, external application of 40 ppm P has ameliorating effect over As toxicity and significantly reduce As content in rice.
