Overindulgence of heavy metal and salt in soil can lead to contamination and have detrimental effects on agricultural crops. These pollutants abound in soil, trigger oxidative stress in plants, disrupt metabolic processes, and ultimately impede the growth and development. Moreover, biomagnifications of these soil pollutants in foods obtained from plants bring ailments in humans as well. The most convincing
