Reclaiming multi-contaminated soil: melatonin alleviates cadmium and microplastic toxicity to restore rice growth and yield

XZXie ZhimingAGAbdul GhafoorMMMuhammad Munir

Key Points

  • The aim is to evaluate how melatonin can mitigate cadmium and microplastic toxicity to enhance rice growth and yield.
  • Conducted experiments in cadmium and microplastic contaminated soil
  • Applied melatonin to assess its effects on rice plants
  • Measured growth parameters and yield outcomes
  • Melatonin treatment significantly improved rice growth
  • Yield increased compared to untreated contaminated controls
  • Cadmium and microplastic toxicity were alleviated by melatonin application

Abstract

The increasing presence of cadmium (Cd) and microplastics (MPs) in agricultural soils is a serious challenge to crop productivity and human health.
