Answer

the correct word is 'reduced'. Sorry - I don't know much about grammar, I just know what is correct. 
You use 'reduced' if the related noun has been reduced. You use 'reduction' if the related noun is used for reducing. 
So - reduced rate, reduced responsibility, reduced visibility, vs reduction gear, reduction ratio, reduction camera.
