Lead (Pb)-polluted soils pose a serious threat to human health, particularly by transmitting this heavy metal to the food chain via the crops grown on them. The application of novel amendments in Pb-polluted soils can significantly reduce this problem. In this research, we report the effects of various organic and inorganic amendments i.

- Growing crops on Ni-rich soils is risky for health and the environment, making it a major focus for researchers trying to find solutions.
- Adding biochar and zeolite to the soil, along with spraying proline on wheat plants, helps reduce nickel accumulation and improve plant stress responses.
- The combination of biochar and zeolite significantly lowers nickel levels in the soil, boosts wheat growth and resistance to stress, and could make Ni-rich soils safer for growing high-quality food.
