A field experiment was conducted to investigate the effectiveness and mechanisms of foliar spraying of transpiration inhibitor (TI) and different amounts of rhamnolipid (Rh) on the Cd content in rice grain. The contact angle of TI on the rice leaves was significantly reduced when it was combined with one critical micelle concentration of Rh. The Cd concentration in the rice grain in the presence of TI, TI + 0.5Rh, TI + 1Rh, and TI + 2Rh significantly decreased by 30.8 %, 41.7 %, 49.4 %, and 37.7 % respectively, compared with the control treatment. Specifically, the Cd content with TI + 1Rh was...
