Highly polluting the environment with heavy metals is a severe problem in almost every country on earth. These activities are including mining, ore processing, industrial effluents deposition, and agricultural pesticides application, etc. The importance of organic amendments in the rehabilitation of metal-contaminated soils may be seen in the improvement of soil physico-chemical properties as well as the increase in plant development. In previous studies, a variety of techniques, including as chelators, agronomic practices, genetic manipulation, and so on, were employed to improve phytoextraction. However, phytoextraction of heavy metals by means of organic fertilizer has been identified as one of the most promising strategies. As a result, it is critical to seek out creative, sustainable green solutions that may help crops perform better and are relatively straightforward to adopt.
