Toxicity induced by a high concentration of lead (Pb) can significantly decrease plant's growth, gas exchange, and yield attributes. It can also causes cancer in humans. The use of organic amendments, especially biochar, can alleviate Pb toxicity in different crops. The application of biochar can decrease the uptake of Pb by plant roots. However, the high pH of thermo-pyrolyzed biochar makes it an unfit amendment for high pH soils. As Pb is an acute toxin and its uptake in rice is a major issue, the current experiment was conducted to explore the efficacy of chemically produced acidified carbon (AC) to mitigate Pb toxicity in rice. Lead was introduced in concentrations of 0, 15, and 30 mg kg-1 soil in combination with 0, 0.5, and 1% AC, underground water (GW) and wastewater (WW) in rice plants. The addition of 1% AC significantly improved the plant height (52 and 7%), spike length (66 and 50%), 1000 grains weight (144 and 71%) compared to 0% AC under GW and WW irrigation, respectively at 30 mg Pb kg-1 soil (30 Pb) toxicity. Similar improvements in the photosynthetic rate, transpiration rate and stomatal conductance also validated the effectiveness of 1% AC over 0% AC. A significant decrease in electrolyte leakage and plant Pb concentration by application of 0.5 and 1% AC validates the effectiveness of these treatments for mitigating 30 Pb toxicity in rice compared to 0% AC under GW or WW irrigation. In conclusion, 1% AC is an effective amendment in alleviating Pb toxicity in rice irrigated with GW or WW at 30 Pb.
