Heavy metal contamination in agricultural field is a challenging aspect globally. Various methods are employed to address the issue; biochar among the most cost-effective and promising one. Our study encompasses biochar preparation from Parthenium, a noxious weed of agricultural field, and its subsequent modification using ferric chloride and orthophosphoric acid. Results revealed that more than 20% reduction of Pb, Cd and Ni in Rice roots under 5 and 7.5 t ha-1 biochar treatments. Moreover, greater than 30% reduction of abovementioned heavy metals in rice grains is also noted in 10 t ha-1 biochar application rates. So, it can be concluded from our study that biochar application to a metal contaminated soil can be a promising approach to reduce metal accumulation in different parts of rice and subsequently addressing the adverse effect of it in human body.
