A field experiment was conducted on trace metal contaminated soil at Patratu (Ramgarh) to study the effect of lime, compost, plant growth promoting rhizobacteria and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi on micronutrient removal viz. Zn, Cu, Mn and Fe in mustard-maize cropping system. Results reveal that inoculation with Glomus mossae, Pseudomonas striata and Azotobacter chroococcum increased Zn concentration to the extent 13 to 32, 10 to 24 and 9 to 24 (%), respectively over control. Copper, manganese and iron uptake followed almost similar trend as that of Zn. Microbial inoculants with or without vermicompost increased the trace metal removal, however, vermicompost alone decreased the removal. It was observed that microbial inoculations reduced the total Zn, Cu, Mn and Fe content in soil. However, available micronutrients were significantly reduced by microbial inoculation and amendments.

Biochar utilization for environmental remediation applications has become very popular. We investigated the trace metal levels and soil nutrient characteristics of a biochar–humus sediment slurry treatment of a simulated crude oil-contaminated soil in the present work. The results revealed that biochar prepared at moderate pyrolysis temperature (500 °C) could still retain a significantly higher nutrient content than those prepared at high temperatures (700 and 900 °C). Despite the suitability for soil treatment, one-pot treatment studies seem not to be very effective for monitoring trace metal sorption to biochar because trace metals do not biodegrade and remain in the system.
