Outline of Final Research Achievements

The objective of this study was to understand the interaction between potassium and cesium on cesium uptake by crop root. Potassium and cesium uptake rates were measured for rice exposed to three levels of potassium concentrations for 24 hours in hydroponic culture experiment. The potassium concentrations were in the range of observed value in paddy fields. Potassium uptake rate was higher in the low potassium concentration than in the high potassium concentration while significant effect of potassium concentrations was not observed on the cesium uptake rate. The results indicated that potassium concentration around root affected potassium uptake after the exposure.
