“…In fact, leaf and stem dry matter accumulated by these plants under 80 mg Cu kg À1 were less than half of those of the control plants (monocropping in untreated soil). This result clearly indicates the need to integrate other remediation strategies to intercropping in cases of severe soil Cu contamination to guarantee adequate development of young grapevines (Fuksova et al, 2010;Oustriere et al, 2016). The effects of intercropping are most likely attributed to phenomena occurring at soil level, in particular, the space shared by the two plant species and where they can mutually interact (rhizosphere).…”

“…Under these circumstances, intercropping heavy metal hyperaccumulators with cash crops/or intercropping of cash crops with high heavy metal accumulation capacity has emerged as a viable alternative to phytoextraction. This intercropping system has the potential to produce safe agricultural products and remove heavy metals from the soil (Fuksova et al, 2010;Qiu et al, 2017;Wan and Yang, 2018). In addition, replacing food crops with cash crops will generate revenue for the landowner.…”

Aims and Background The growing human population and scarcity of new arable land necessitate exploring contaminated lands for agriculture production. Intercropping, a strategic method involving different plant species to enhance plant biomass, soil health and phytoremediation, thus promoting sustainable agricultural practices on contaminated lands. Therefore, the selection of suitable intercropping systems is of great interest for sustainable agriculture. Methods This research focused on the phytoremediation potential of rapeseed and kenaf in cadmium-contaminated soil, evaluating their performance in both intercropping and monoculture system. Additionally, it examined the growth, morphological, and physicochemical responses of the plants. Results The results revealed that intercropping of these two species significantly enhanced their biomass production, chlorophyll content, and photosynthetic efficiency compared to monocultures. Antioxidant enzyme activities in both plants were elevated under intercropping, reducing oxidative stress markers such as malondialdehyde (MDA) and superoxide anion (O2−). Intercropping increased Cd accumulation in both shoots and roots of kenaf and rapeseed, correlating with a decrease in soil pH and an increase in available Cd content in the soil. Both species showed potential for metal phytostabilization, with BCF > 1 and TF < 1 in intercropping. It is also found that intercropping enhanced the activity of soil enzymes, urease and catalase while reducing sucrase activity, indicating improved soil health and microbial activity. Conclusion These findings suggest that intercropping kenaf and rapeseed not only improves plant growth and Cd uptake but also promotes better soil health and resilience under Cd stress, offering a sustainable approach for phytoremediation in contaminated soils.
