Effect of foliar-applied calcium on the foliar uptake of cesium in rice shoots and its translocation to brown rice

Key Points

• Calcium application significantly increases cesium uptake in rice shoots and improves translocation to brown rice.
• A notable increase of cesium levels was observed after foliar calcium treatment in rice, highlighting potential for uptake modulation.
• Observational analysis on rice reveals the importance of calcium in enhancing foliar uptake and translocation of cesium.
• This information supports further exploration in agricultural practices to manage cesium levels in rice, ensuring food safety.
