A pot experiment was carried out to study the effects of phytoextracation by Sedum plumbizincicola and stabilization on soil pH, extractable cadmium (Cd) and zinc (Zn) concentrations in soils, and on rice (Oryza sativa L.) growth, uptake of Cd and Zn in a heavy metal contaminated acidic soil. Paddy soils after different phytoextraction times were collected from Xiangtan County of Hunan Province. The results showed that after two and three times of phytoextraction, soil pH decreased by 0.26 and 0.38 units and soil CaCl₂-extractable Cd concentration reduced by 19.4% and 24.0%, respectively, compared with unphytoextracted treatment. After phytoextraction, Cd concentration in the brown rice of variety W184 reduced significantly, but still exceeded the national standard of China. Cadmium concentration in brown rice of variety IRA7190 was 0.03 mg/kg in phytoextracted soil, which met the requirement of safety production. After applying sepiolite and lime (10 g/kg + 1 g/kg), soil pH increased by 0.95 and 0.72, soil CaCl₂-extractable Cd concentration decreased by 79.8% and 79.5% and Cd concentration in brown rice of variety W184 decreased by 27.3% and 44.4% in the soils after two or three times of phytoextraction, respectively. Whether it was added stabilizer or not, Cd concentration in brown rice of variety IRA7190 was only 0.03 mg/kg when grown on soil phytoextracted three times.
