The biochar amendment in soil altered the fate of this herbicide by modifying the soil properties. The present study examines the dissipation and toxicity of atrazine in three contrasting soils (silty clay, sandy loam, and sandy clay) without and with biochar amendment (4%).

- The study examines how two genotypes of A. paniculata respond to different arsenic levels, focusing on plant growth, arsenic accumulation, and development of important compounds.
- Results indicated that arsenic exposure significantly reduced plant growth in both genotypes, with APw showing a 5-41.5% decrease and AP a 9-33% decrease in biomass.
- The AP genotype demonstrated better arsenic tolerance, lower accumulation of arsenic, and increased production of key compounds compared to APw, with notable changes in metabolite production and enzyme activity under arsenic stress.
