dc.description.abstractLead-contaminated soils are becoming an ecological risk to the environment because of producing low-quality food which is directly causing critical health issues in humans and animals. We hypothesized that incorporation of dicalcium phosphate (DCP), eggshell powder (ESP) and biochar (BH) at diverse rates into a Pb-affected soil can proficiently immobilize Pb and decline its bioavailability to spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.). A soil was artificially spiked with Pb concentration (at 600 mg kg−1) and further amended with DCP, ESP, and BH (as sole treatments at 2% and in concoctions at 1% each) for immobilization of Pb in the soil. The interlinked effects of applied treatments on Pb concentrations in shoots and roots, biomass, antioxidants, biochemistry, and nutrition of spinach were also investigated. Results depicted that the highest reduction in DTPA-extractable Pb and the concentrations of Pb in shoots and roots was achieved in DCP1%+BH1% treatment that was up to 58%, 66%, and 53%, respectively over control. Likewise, the DCP1%+BH1% treatment also showed the maximum shoot and root dry weight (DW), chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) and chlorophyll-b (Chl-b) contents and relative water content (RWC) in spinach up to 92%, 121%, 60%, 65%, and 30%, respectively, compared to control. Likewise, DCP1%+BH1% treatment noticeably improved antioxidant enzymes, biochemistry, and nutrition in the leaves. Moreover, the DCP1%+BH1% treatment depicted mostly enhanced activities of dehydrogenase, catalase, acid phosphatase, alkaline phosphatase, phosphomonoesterase, urease, protease and B-glucosidase in the post-harvested soil up to 118%, 345%, 55%, 92%, 288%, 107%, 53% and 252%, respectively over control. © 2019 Elsevier Ltd
