Heavy metals (HMs) contamination, owing to their potential links to various chronic diseases, poses a global threat to agriculture, environment, and human health. Nickel (Ni) is an essential element however, at higher concentration, it is highly phytotoxic, and affects major plant functions. Beneficial roles of plant growth regulators (PGRs) and organic amendments in mitigating the adverse impacts of HM on plant growth has gained the attention of scientific community worldwide.

Article Synopsis
  • Chromium contamination severely impacts soil health and agricultural sustainability, making its remediation crucial.
  • A study explored the combined use of a Cr-tolerant strain "CKQ9" and nano zerovalent iron (nZVI) to enhance the phytoremediation ability of aloe vera in contaminated soil.
  • Results indicated that this combination significantly improved plant health and growth metrics, reduced Cr concentrations in soil and plant tissues, and increased antioxidant activity, demonstrating its effectiveness for soil rehabilitation.
