Lead (Pb) is a common contaminant that causes serious health and environmental problems. Thus, appropriate environmentally friendly efficient techniques must be developed to remediate Pb in soils. Biochar (BC) has shown promise as an effective strategy mitigate toxicity. Trehalose (Tre) promising sugar been effectively improve plant tolerance abiotic stresses. Nonetheless, its role alleviating toxicity unknown. The study investigated the impacts of BC Tre co-application rice crops. included following treatments: control, stress (250 mg kg−1), kg−1) + (2.5%), (30 mM), (2.5%) mM). Results showed reduced yield by decreasing chlorophyll synthesis relative water content (RWC), increasing malondialdehyde (MDA) hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) contents, accumulation roots shoots, soil available concentration, availability nutrients. application mitigated adverse Pb; however, more results were obtained with Tre. indicated increased photosynthetic pigments (46–96.42%), leaf contents (16.67%), proline soluble protein (35.13% 24.96%), antioxidant activities (12.07–31.67%), root (59.72%), shoot (76.47%), (57.14%) concentrations, translocation factor (15.08%). These findings suggested can practical approach for reducing toxicity, availability, uptake, which improves productivity Pb-polluted soil.
