A “win-win” strategy in highly arsenic-contaminated soils: Intercropping cash crops with soil amendments to achieve production while remediating
Key Points
Intercropping with soil amendments leads to significant arsenic reduction in soils, promoting health in agriculture and the environment.
A 36% decrease in arsenic levels was observed when cash crops were intercropped with specific amendments.
Analysis included various combinations of soil amendments and cash crops to evaluate their synergistic effects on soil remediation.
These findings highlight a sustainable farming approach, indicating the potential to improve both crop yields and soil health.
