Phytoextraction is widely used to remove environmental pollutants such as heavy metals or radionuclides from soil. It is important to understand how to enhance the accumulation of contaminants by plants. Previously, we found that Napier grass (Pennisetum purpureumSchum.) has the potential to effectively remove Cs (133Cs and137Cs). In order to enhance the remediation efficiency of Napier grass, we evaluated the effects of low-level K (K), ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), or the combination of low-level K and EDTA (K+EDTA). We also examined the differences in137Cs decontamination between two cropping years (2018 and 2019). Overall, there were no prominent effects from the K, EDTA, or K+EDTA treatments on plant growth (plant height, tiller number), aboveground biomass,137Cs concentration, and137Cs removal ratio (CR) in 2 years. However, the aboveground biomass (P< 0.001),137Cs concentration (P< 0.001 in 2019 only), and CR (P< 0.001) in plants grown in the first growing period were significantly higher than in plants grown in the second growing period in both years. The mean137Cs concentration (P< 0.001) and total CR (P< 0.001) per year was significantly greater in 2019 than in 2018. The precipitation amount during the cultivation period in 2019 (1197 mm) was 1.8-fold higher than in 2018 (655 mm). In this study, the K, EDTA, and K+EDTA treatments had less effect plant growth than the natural environmental conditions. To enhance remediation efficiency, soil moisture is one important factor to produce more aboveground biomass to achieve high CR in Napier grass.
