Combined application of biochar and metal-tolerant bacteria alleviates cadmium toxicity by modulating the antioxidant defense mechanism and physicochemical attributes in rice (Oryza sativa L.) grown in cadmium-contaminated soil

Agricultural soil contamination by heavy metal (cadmium) is a widespread issue and causes deleterious effects on crops. One of the most effective and ecofriendly methods for cadmium detoxification is microbe-assisted phytoremediation and soil amendment with biochar. The current study investigated th...
