Abstract:The rise in industrial activity has resulted in an escalating threat antimony (Sb) buildups and biomagnifications in both plants and humans. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) have been thoroughly investigated as a soil enhancement due to their ability to decrease the accumulation of many heavy metals in plant tissues. However, a quantitative and data-based consensus has yet to be reached on the effect of AMF application on maize plants, focusing on plant growth, nutrient content, and antioxidant properties in… Show more
