“…Pyrolysis is the thermal breakdown of organic compounds at temperatures between 300 and 900°C in an oxygen-free atmosphere ( 284 , 285 ). The technique of pyrolysis involves heating sewage sludge in an inactive environment to release organic material that can subsequently be recycled ( 286 , 287 ). The heavy metals are concentrated by this mechanism around carbonaceous deposits ( 288 ).…”

Toxicity with heavy metals has proven to be a significant hazard with several health problems linked to it. Heavy metals bioaccumulate in living organisms, pollute the food chain, and possibly threaten the health of animals. Many industries, fertilizers, traffic, automobile, paint, groundwater, and animal feed are sources of contamination of heavy metals. Few metals, such as aluminum (Al), may be eliminated by the elimination processes, but other metals like lead (Pb), arsenic (As), and cadmium (Ca) accumulate in the body and food chain, leading to chronic toxicity in animals. Even if these metals have no biological purpose, their toxic effects are still present in some form that is damaging to the animal body and its appropriate functioning. Cadmium (Cd) and Pb have negative impacts on a number of physiological and biochemical processes when exposed to sub-lethal doses. The nephrotoxic effects of Pb, As, and Cd are well known, and high amounts of naturally occurring environmental metals as well as occupational populations with high exposures have an adverse relationship between kidney damage and toxic metal exposure. Metal toxicity is determined by the absorbed dosage, the route of exposure, and the duration of exposure, whether acute or chronic. This can lead to numerous disorders and can also result in excessive damage due to oxidative stress generated by free radical production. Heavy metals concentration can be decreased through various procedures including bioremediation, pyrolysis, phytoremediation, rhizofiltration, biochar, and thermal process. This review discusses few heavy metals, their toxicity mechanisms, and their health impacts on cattle with special emphasis on the kidneys.

“…A plant in the rhizosphere secrets a multitude of organic materials through rhizodeposition, that in turn attract microbes and therefore turns biodiverse, an enriched spot in the earth’s ecosystem [ 29 ]. Rhizodeposition is an active phenomenon that feeds microbial populations; hence this spot contains up to 10 11 microbial cells per gram root [ 8 ] and houses more than 30,000 prokaryotic species, respectively [ 30 ].…”

“…Rhizosphere microbiomes nurture diverse, complex, and dynamic microbial communities executing vital ecosystem processes, thus characterizing the hot spots of the earth [ 1 ]. Plants and microbes are coevolved and the significant of plant-associated microorganisms in plant growth, development, nutrient acquisition, protection and increase tolerance against biotic and abiotic stresses [ 8 , 71 , 72 , 73 , 74 , 75 , 76 ] are unquestioned and has been well studied under the concept of holobiont [ 1 , 77 ]. Root surfaces tightly adhere to the rhizosphere’s soil interface that harbors these plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) [ 28 , 78 ].…”

Drought [ 3 , 4 ], salinity [ 5 , 6 ], osmotic and heavy metals [ 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 ], and high temperatures [ 12 ], are examples of abiotic stress that have detrimental impacts on agricultural yield. These stressors lower water absorption, nutrient acquisition [ 13 , 14 ], cause disease susceptibility [ 13 ], interrupt hormonal imbalance, and affect the plant’s photosynthetic efficiency.…”

Rhizosphere microbiome is a dynamic and complex zone of microbial communities. This complex plant-associated microbial community, usually regarded as the plant’s second genome, plays a crucial role in plant health. It is unquestioned that plant microbiome collectively contributes to plant growth and fitness. It also provides a safeguard from plant pathogens, and induces tolerance in the host against abiotic stressors. The revolution in omics, gene-editing and sequencing tools have somehow led to unravel the compositions and latent interactions between plants and microbes. Similarly, besides standard practices, many biotechnological, (bio)chemical and ecological methods have also been proposed. Such platforms have been solely dedicated to engineer the complex microbiome by untangling the potential barriers, and to achieve better agriculture output. Yet, several limitations, for example, the biological obstacles, abiotic constraints and molecular tools that capably impact plant microbiome engineering and functionality, remained unaddressed problems. In this review, we provide a holistic overview of plant microbiome composition, complexities, and major challenges in plant microbiome engineering. Then, we unearthed all inevitable abiotic factors that serve as bottlenecks by discouraging plant microbiome engineering and functionality. Lastly, by exploring the inherent role of micro/macrofauna, we propose economic and eco-friendly strategies that could be harnessed sustainably and biotechnologically for resilient plant microbiome engineering.

“…Zn is necessary for plants as it plays an important role in enzyme activation and nucleic acid, protein, carbohydrates and lipids metabolism [24]. It improves plant photosynthesis, growth, nitrogen fixation and ultimately the yield of crops [25]. After nitrogen and phosphorus, Zn deficiency ranks third in Pakistan in limiting plant performance [26].…”

Deficiencies of essential vitamins, iron (Fe), and zinc (Zn) affect over one-half of the world's population. A significant progress has been made to control micronutrient deficiencies through supplementation, but new approaches are needed, especially to reach the rural poor. Agronomic biofortification of pulses with Zn, Fe, and boron (B) offers a pragmatic solution to combat hidden hunger instead of food fortification and supplementation. Moreover, it also has positive effects on crop production as well. Therefore, we conducted three separate field experiments for two consecutive years to evaluate the impact of soil and foliar application of the aforementioned nutrients on the yield and seed biofortification of mungbean. Soil application of Zn at 0, 4.125, 8.25, Fe at 0, 2.5, 5.0 and B at 0, 0.55, 1.1 kg ha −1 was done in the first, second and third experiment, respectively. Foliar application in these experiments was done at 0.3% Zn, 0.2% Fe and 0.1% B respectively one week after flowering initiation. Data revealed that soil-applied Zn, Fe and B at 8.25, 5.0 and 1.1 kg ha −1 , respectively, enhanced the grain yield of mungbean; however, this increase in yield was statistically similar to that recorded with Zn, Fe and B at 4.125, 2.5 and 0.55 kg ha −1 , respectively. Foliar application of these nutrients at flower initiation significantly enhanced the Zn contents by 28% and 31%, Fe contents by 80% and 78%, while B contents by 98% and 116% over control during 2019 and 2020, respectively. It was concluded from the results that soil application of Zn, Fe, and B enhanced the yield performance of mungbean; while significant improvements in seed Zn, Fe, and B contents were recorded with foliar application of these nutrients.
