Mitigation of cadmium, lead and copper uptake in French beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) using Vermicompost-assisted phytomanagement under contaminated irrigated soils
This study demonstrates that combining vermicompost soil amendments with furrow irrigation significantly reduces the uptake of cadmium, lead, and copper in French bean tissues by enhancing metal immobilization and regulating soil moisture, offering a sustainable phytomanagement strategy for safer crop production in contaminated irrigated soils.
