Enhancing copper and arsenic phytoextraction from calcareous soil through the synergistic interaction of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid application timing and metal-resistant plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria inoculation.

Remediating calcareous soils co-contaminated with copper and arsenic remains a major challenge due to low metal bioavailability and the risk of chelator-induced phytotoxicity, which can severely limit phytoremediation success. This study investigated a synergistic strategy combining heavy metal-resistant plant growth-p...

Improving beetroot growth and heavy metal tolerance with biochar under wastewater irrigation across multiple sites

Wastewater containing heavy metals can lead to soil and crop accumulation, thus posing a risk to the environment. Biochar, being a rich carbon-containing organic fertilizer, can reduce these adverse impacts by increasing soil fertility. This study was conducted to assess the biochar-treated wastewater for beetroot cult...
