Cadmium application significantly reduced rice yield, with losses ranging from 6.58% to 26.73% in various varieties.
Grain cadmium levels increased while key nutrients like N, P, K, and S decreased after cadmium exposure.
The study assessed six rice varieties, including BRRI dhan50 and Binadhan-10, under varying cadmium levels in soil.
Health risks emerged, as cadmium-contaminated rice showed potential carcinogenic effects for adult Bangladeshis.
