“…Targets erecta is a Cd accumulator that shows reduced GR, CAT, and SOD in the direction of cadmium contact. In contrast, Avena strigosa, a Cd-tolerant accumulator, shows augmented activities to the same Cd concentrations (Siddiqui et al, 2022). The antioxidant defense system is advantageous in heavy metal tolerant plants, and their meditation must be prudently explained when we investigate oxidative stress and redox imbalances brought by heavy metals.…”

Heavy metals (HMs) contaminate the environment worldwide, alter microflora structure, diversity, and function, degrade soils, and reduce plant growth and yield; that is why HMs treatment is essential to maintain soil health. Traditional approaches to heavy metals are expensive, not environmentally friendly, and adversely affect the soil. Microbial application is an ecologically friendly tactic for the removal of heavy metals. Microorganisms augment soil health improvement, which is the vital enhancement of plants' response to abiotic stress via various mechanisms, including phytohormones, biosurfactants, exopolymers, antioxidant enzyme production, and organic acids. Heavy metals show an active part in nature since they are essential for plant growth stages as these are correspondingly tangled in relocating electrons and redox reactions, indeed a vital portion of numerous enzymes as a straight contributor and elementary role in the metabolism of nucleic acid but additional concentration consequences in numerous lethal paraphernalia. Hence, the present article comprised the evidence for an improved understanding of heavy metal toxicity in various plants and its accumulation mechanism by plants. The root is an imperative gateway for water absorption and organic nourishment in which an advanced metal concentration element likewise accompanies numerous lands, whichever non-essential (e. g. Fe, Cu, and Mn) or essential metal elements or else heavy metals (e. g. Al, Hg, Pb, Ag, and Cd). The way to control metal essentials entry in the cell includes chelation and protection of compounds able to nullify the impairment once the metal component arrives via metallothionein or photoheating composites. Moreover, before their existence, antioxidant compounds were released into vacuoles and additionally rooted in a cellular structure, preventing the dangerous absorption of metal from avoiding cellular injury and toxic effects.

“…Soil structure and composition are, therefore, essential factors in determining plant growth and productivity. As a result of salinity, soil quality diminishes, affecting crop yield, thus, maintaining and restoring soil quality has become increasingly important in recent years ( Siddiqui et al, 2022). Salinity significantly affects agriculture in Uttar Pradesh.…”

In the present study, multiple sites in the Indo‐Gangetic Plain (IGP) were examined, and most of the sites were found to be non‐saline, with electrical conductivity (EC) values below 4.0 dSm−1. The highest value of EC 8.5 dSm−1 was reported for samples collected from JAN‐2, which, followed by site RBL‐3, also shows a high value of EC 6.5 dSm−1. The highest CEC (cmolkg−1) was reported in samples collected from site JAN‐1 (8.4), JAN‐2 (8.2), and JAN‐3 (8.21), and the lowest at RBL‐2 (3.99). The highest exchangeable sodium percentage (ESP) value of 34.07% was observed at RBL‐3, indicating a potential salinity risk associated with elevated sodium contents. The analysis showed that salt was present at all study sites, and there were strong correlations between the variables examined. The relationship between measured ESP and predicted ESP shows a strong correlation with an r2 value of 0.91, indicating the applicability of ESP–sodium adsorption ratio (SAR). Paired samples t‐test results p‐value = 0.27 indicated no significant difference (p > 0.05) between the soil ESP values predicted by the soil ESP–SAR model and those obtained through laboratory testing. The statistical results of the study suggested that the soil ESP–SAR model was reliable for predicting ESP values. The soil ESP differences between the two methods were normally distributed, and the 95% limits of agreement were calculated as −7.79 and 5.55. The mean difference between the ESP–SAR model and the “Measured” method was calculated as 2.24, representing the average deviation between the two. The study presents the ESP–SAR model as a cost‐effective and efficient method for estimating soil ESP and assessing soil salinity. By analyzing soil properties and validating the model, it provides valuable insights for policymakers and stakeholders in combating agricultural land degradation in the IGP. The novelty lies in its comprehensive evaluation of soil salinity indices, reinforcing the applicability of the ESP–SAR model for future research and agricultural management.
