The primary environmental factor affecting the biochemical attributes of plants is soil pollution by heavy metals. detrimental effects metals on can be lessened amendments. goal current research was to determine potential biochar (BC) and vermicompost (VC) as amendments in reducing Pb toxicity summer savory (Satureja Hortensis L.) though physiological modifications. Therefore, pot experiment conducted with (control (non-Pb), 300, 600 mg kg soil-1) (control, 2% BC, 10% VC, 1% BC+5% VC) based a completely randomized design. results showed that at soil-1 led significant decreases shoot weight (41%), root (25%), leaf relative water content (20%), chlorophyll (39%) compared control. However, it resulted increases malondialdehyde (61%) electrolyte leakage (49%) when BC VC were not applied. (39%), but (61%), control treatments without application. particularly their combination more effective improving plant growth. interaction 300 kg-1 combined higher total phenolic content, flavonoid essential oil (EO) EO yield 29, 62, 39, 35% raises Agglomerative hierarchical clustering revealed differed from control, significantly varied individual values. Combining than using them separately alleviating toxicity, enhances growth secondary metabolite production. have benefit improvement resistance Pb-polluted soils.
