Journal ArticleDOI
Enhanced phytoremediation of lead by soil applied organic and inorganic amendments: Pb phytoavailability, accumulation and metal recovery
TL;DR: Among all the studied amendments, citric acid efficiently increased Pb phytoaccumulation without any toxicity and reduced the plant dry biomass.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plant uptake and leaching potential upon application of amendments in soils spiked with heavy metals (Cd and Pb).
TL;DR: In comparison with other amendments, citric acid may be recommended as an environmentally friendly alternative for non-biodegradable EDTA for enhanced phytoextraction of Cd and Pb.
Journal ArticleDOI
Metal tolerance of arsenic-resistant bacteria and their ability to promote plant growth of Pteris vittata in Pb-contaminated soil.

TL;DR: The ability of PG- 12 cells to solubilize P and display resistance to multiple metals combined with the production of plant hormones indole acetic acid and gibberellin make PG-12 a suitable candidate for plant growth promotion in metal-contaminated soil.
Journal ArticleDOI
EDTA-assisted phytoextraction of lead and cadmium by Pelargonium cultivars grown on spiked soil.
Iram Gul,Maria Manzoor,Jérôme Silvestre,Muhammad Rizwan,Kiran Hina,Jean Kallerhoff,Muhammad Arshad +6 more
TL;DR: Overall, the performance of Pelargonium hortorum was better than that of P. zonale for EDTA-assisted phytoextraction of Pb and Cd.
Journal ArticleDOI
The response of arsenic bioavailability and microbial community in paddy soil with the application of sulfur fertilizers.
TL;DR: The outcomes indicate that promoting Fe- and S- reducing bacteria in the rhizosphere by sulfur fertilizers may be one way to reduce As risk in the soil-rice system.
