“…In addition, agronomic and civil engineering methods such as, judicious use of water, management of soil and plant-nutrients might be recommended in As prone crop growing areas to mitigate the building up of As in human food chain and thus minimizing the negative impact on the environment 77 . Chitosan (CH) and biochar (BC) can be used to reduce mobility and bioavailability of heavy metals and to facilitate plant growth by improving the antioxidant system 78,79 . It is to be noted that biomass of lentil should be toxin free to the end users.…”

Arsenic (As) is a toxic metalloid. As phyto-toxicity is manifested by its accumulation in different tissue types and subsequent growth inhibition in plants. Despite the vital role of leguminous crops in providing proteins to human diets, a little is known about the As accumulation in lentil. In this study, the rate of As uptake and transport from soil to root, shoot and grain of lentil as well as associated risks with the consumption of As contaminated food were examined. Biomass accumulation of lentil genotypes pardina, red chief and precoz drastically decreased when treated with As at 6 mg kg −1 concentration in comparison to 0 and 3 mg kg −1 As. Quantification of As concentrations following different treatment periods showed that As accumulation in roots and shoots of 0, 3 and 6 mg kg −1 As-treated lentil genotypes was statistically different. Arsenic content in grains of red chief genotype was found significantly lower than pardina and precoz. Moreover, As transport significantly increased in roots and shoots compared to the grains. Due to the high concentrations of As in biomass of lentil genotypes, animal as well as human health risk might be associated with the consumption of the As contaminated legume crops.

“…The reduction in growth and biomass of mung bean (Ramzani, Coyne, et al, 2017), sunflower (Turan, et al, 2018b), red clover (Shahbaz et al, 2018a), and Zea mays L. (Shahbaz et al, 2018b) germinated in Ni‐spiked soil has been previously discussed by numerous authors. Likely, Ni‐spiked soils considerably curtailed the Chl contents in the leaves of mung bean (Ramzani, Coyne, et al, 2017) and RWC in green buttonwood (Tauqeer et al, 2019).…”

“…Likewise, implementing zeolite (ZE), a naturally found hydrated aluminosilicate mineral, to heavy metal‐contaminated soils reduces the uptake of heavy metal by plants due to similar features as biochar (large surface area, porous structure, and high CEC; Shahbaz et al, 2018b; Shahbaz et al, 2019). The incorporation of ZE in Ni‐polluted soil reduced Ni bioavailability in soil and plants such as sunflower and Zea mays (Shahbaz et al, 2018b) and improved plants' nutritional and biochemical attributes (Shahbaz et al, 2018a; Turan, et al, 2018b; Turan, 2019). Moreover, ZE is also reported to enhance soil enzyme activities and soil water holding capacity (WHC) (Turan, 2019).…”

Soil pollution with nickel (Ni) casts detrimental effects on the quality of crops. Low‐cost amendments can restrict Ni mobility in soil and its uptake by the plants. In this pot experiment, the effects of pistachio husk biochar (PHB) and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) on the distribution of Ni in mung bean and its bioavailability in Ni‐spiked soil were evaluated. Plant parameters like Ni plant height, root dry weight, shoot dry weight, grain yield, chlorophyll contents, oxidative stress, Ni distribution in the roots, shoot, and grain, as well as the nutritional potential of grains, were measured on plants grown on Ni‐contaminated soil amended or not (control) with AMF, zeolite (ZE), PHB, ZE + AMF, and PHB + AMF. Moreover, DTPA (diethylenetriamine pentaacetate)‐extractable Ni in the soil, microbial biomass carbon (MBC), total glomalin (TG), extractable glomalin (EG), mycorrhizal root colonization (MRC), and the activities of soil enzymes (i.e. urease, acid phosphatase, and catalase) were also assessed after the plant harvest. With few exceptions, all treatments had significant effects on plant and soil parameters. The PHB + AMF treatment showed the topmost significant increment in plant physical parameters while reducing the Ni distribution in plant parts and oxidative injury. Based on these findings, it is proposed that PHB + AMF treatment can reduce Ni distribution and oxidative stress in mung bean plants and improve the biochemical compounds in grain.

“…Likewise, the highest significant Fe concentration was observed with FeHP treatment, compared to control (Figure 2). It has been reported that amending metal-polluted soil with BR significantly improved the concentrations of Mn and Zn in brinjal [13] and sunflower [28]. Likewise, an improvement in the Fe concentrations of rice grain was reported after the application of iron compounds [29].…”

Lead (Pb)-polluted soils pose a serious threat to human health, particularly by transmitting this heavy metal to the food chain via the crops grown on them. The application of novel amendments in Pb-polluted soils can significantly reduce this problem. In this research, we report the effects of various organic and inorganic amendments i.e., bentonite (BN), biochar (BR), lignin (LN), magnesium potassium phosphate cement (CM) and iron hydroxyl phosphate (FeHP), on the Pb bioavailability in Pb-polluted soil, upon Pb distribution in shoots, roots, grain, the translocation factor (TF) and the bioconcentration factor (BCF) of Pb in pea (Pisum sativum L.) grain. Furthermore, effects of the said amendments on the plant parameters, as well as grain biochemistry and nutritional quality, were also assessed. Lead pollution significantly elevated Pb concentrations in roots, shoots and grain, as well as the grain TF and BCF of Pb, while reducing the nutritional quality and biochemistry of grain, plant height, relative water content (RWC), chlorophyll contents (chl a and chl b) and the dry weight (DW) of shoot, root and grain. The lowest Pb distribution in shoots, roots and grain were found with BN, FeHP and CM, compared to our control. Likewise, the BN, FeHP and CM significantly lowered the TF and BCF values of Pb in the order FeHP > CM > BN. Similarly, the highest increase in plant height, shoot, root and grain DW, RWC, chl a and chl b contents, grain biochemistry and the micronutrient concentrations, were recorded with BR amendment. Biochar also reduced grain polyphenols as well as plant oxidative stress. Given that the BR and BN amendments gave the best results, we propose to explore their potential synergistic effect to reduce Pb toxicity by using them together in future research.
