Data on reduction of radioactivity in plants are highly important for making decision on emergency response and remediation of contaminated areas. Dynamics of the ¹³¹I and ¹³⁷Cs concentrations in the weed leaves sampled in the areas affected by the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant (FDNPP) accident in Japan was assessed for the period March–December 2011. The effective half-lives for ¹³¹I and ¹³⁷Cs of 3.8–4.2 days and 7.1–13.3 days in the weed leaves were calculated for the first two months after the deposition. The approach for assessment of the aggregated transfer factors based on the ambient dose equivalent rate was suggested and validated. The geometric means of the soil to the weed leaves aggregated transfer factors were estimated for June–December 2011. Soil to crop ¹³⁷Cs- concentration ratios (buckwheat, brown rice and soybean) were estimated for 2011–2016. Soil to crop concentration ratios were found to decrease in the order of soybean > buckwheat > brown rice. The effective half-lives for ¹³⁷Cs in these crops were estimated to be between 1 and 2.5 years for the period 2011 2016, and longer than 5–7 years after 2016. It was found that these data comply with the Chernobyl related data obtained for similar conditions and complement of international documents on radionuclide transfer in agricultural environment such as the IAEA TRS 472.
