Abstract

homeostasis, water relations, photosynthetic capacity, and redox homeostasis. Consequently, grain yield and yield components were significantly increased under the combined treatment. Collectively, these findings demonstrate that zeolite-AMF integration under optimized soil moisture establishes an effective, eco-friendly strategy for remediation of saline and Cd-contaminated soils while maintaining crop productivity.
