Heavy metal pollution severely affects soil and rice quality in China. In a one-year field experiment conducted in Hg-Cd co-contaminated farmland in Tongren, Guizhou, we examined the effects of low-accumulation rice cultivars, soil amendments (Fupei (D1), Wansan (D2), Shengwujun (D3), and Shigou (D4)) and foliar barrier agents on Hg and Cd transport and uptake. The rice cultivar Longliangyouhuanglizhan (P1) showed lower Hg and Cd accumulation. When combined with amendments, P1 further reduced health risks. All amendments effectively reduced non-carcinogenic health risks, with Fupei reducing Hg and Cd accumulation in rice by 65.16% and 97.54%, respectively, achieving a 91.74% reduction in health risks. Foliar barrier agents further decreased heavy metal content in rice. Additionally, D1 was the most cost-effective option. Soil assessments showed amendments reduced available Hg content by 66.67&ndash:70.51%, while Cd content increased by 3.51&ndash:16.67%. Mechanistic analysis indicated that D1 and D2 mainly immobilized heavy metals through adsorption and precipitation, while D3 facilitated removal via microbial reduction, and D4 relied on adsorption. Overall, D1 was most effective in mitigating heavy metal risks and improving soil quality, providing a comprehensive strategy for managing contamination in rice production with important implications for food safety and sustainable agriculture.
