However, limited information is available on the effects of green manure replacing chemical fertilizers on soil properties and crop growth. In this study, we investigated the effects of Chinese milk vetch incorporation with reduced chemical fertilizers on soil properties, rice agronomic traits and cadmium (Cd) accumulation by field experiments, and four treatments were conducted: chemical fertilizer alone (CF), milk vetch alone (MV), milk vetch plus 80% chemical fertilizers (MVCF80), and milk vetch plus 50% chemical fertilizers (MVCF50). The results showed that all milk vetch treatments decreased soil pH and Eh, and increased the SOM, DOC contents and the activities of catalase and urease. The soil DTPA-Cd contents decreased by 20.41%, 18.20%, and 21.22%, and the Cd accumulation in rice root, stem, leaf, and grain decreased by 21.13%-37.62%, 20.74%-39.61%, and 21.91%-43.56% under MV, MVCF80, and MVCF50 treatments, respectively. Additionally, the MVCF80 treatment showed a better rice agronomic traits and grain yield than others.

Our results shows that SZ and NBC treatments significantly impacted heavy metal levels, notably reducing arsenic (As), nickel (Ni), lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), and mercury (Hg) accumulation in plant tissues. The treatments exhibited varying degrees of effectiveness in reducing heavy metal levels.

In soil, SZ₂ treatment significantly reduced metal concentrations, particularly Cd (66.8% reduction) and Hg (70.7% reduction).

Among its varied applications, <i>B. alba</i> has shown significant promise in the phytoremediation of contaminants in both water and soil, owing to its hyper accumulating capacities. The plant has a transfer factor value of more than 1 which means that there is higher accumulation of contaminants in parts of the plant than in soil. The objective of this review is to assess the feasibility of B. alba in contributing to sustainable water management solutions for fluoride contamination, while offering a comprehensive evaluation of its environmental remediation potential. The article examines the biosorption capabilities of B. alba based on its established use in phytoremediation, offering insights into its suitability for addressing fluoride contamination in water. This article is organized into sections starting with an introduction, which brings explains the global challenge of fluoride, and different treatment techniques justifying why biosorption needs to be considered, cases of application of phytoremediation using B.

Surface sterilized seeds of summer squash were primed in different concentrations (10, 20 µM) of MD as well as in distilled water for 24 h and sown in the pots.

The Cd stress decreased photosynthetic pigments, osmoprotectants and ultimately caused reduction in the yield attributes. Further, it increased the secondary metabolites and oxidants (MDA and H₂O₂) in the summer squash tissues. Cd exposure also altered ions accumulation in the summer squash tissues by increasing the root and shoot Ca²⁺ (24-93%) and Fe (4-18%) ions while decreasing the Mg²⁺ (31-39%) ions.
