Abstract

By using field survey, sampling, and indoor analysis, we analyzed the geochemical characteristics of heavy metals in the blueberries and soil of the core blueberry production area of Majiang in Guizhou, China. Analyses were based on national standards for soil pollution risk control on agricultural land (GB15618-2018) and pollution index limits in food (GB2762-2017/2012). The results demonstrated that heavy metal content in the soil profile of this area exceeds standards, but standards were exceeded mainly in the lower layer of the profile, and blueberry growth was not substantially affected. Except for in Lanmenggu, heavy metals in the cultivation soil layer of Majiang Blueberry Farms did not considerably exceed standards. The content of heavy metals in blueberry did not exceed the standard, so it was a safe fruit. These results can provide a reference for the safe cultivation of Majiang blueberries.
