The higher  amounts of arsenic accumulation in its grain in relation to other crops, determines a potential  toxicity risk to humans. This research project aimed to determine the inorganic arsenic  accumulation in rice grain (iAs) in two contrasting soil sites, Paso Farias-Artigas (PF) and Paso de la Laguna-Treinta y Tres (PdL), with two different mitigation practices, in Uruguay.  These being firstly irrigation management techniques and secondly the use of different varieties. Five experiments were conducted with a split plot design with four blocks over  three rice growing seasons from 2014 until 2017. The experimental sites included two  irrigation treatments: continuous flooded (C) and alternate wetting and drying (AWD). The split plots included different varieties: Indicas and Japonicas. Average  iAs accumulated in rice grain were 0.07 mg kg-1, well below international limits, even under the C irrigation technique. It was found that iAs accumulation in rice grain can be further reduced by the implementation of AWD in certain soil types. Japonica varieties had a lower accumulation of  iAs in rice grain, in comparison with Indicas at both sites.  aARROZ  aARSENIC  aAWD  aFOOD SAFETY  aIRRIGATION  aIRRIGATION METHODS  aRICE (ORYZA SATIVA L.)1 aHORNBUCKLE, J.1 aVERGER, M.1 aHUERTAS, R.1 aRICCETTO, S.1 aCAMPOS, F.1 aROEL, A.  tJournal of Agriculture and Food Research, 2019. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jafr.2019.100008
