Plants selected for the phytoremediation experiment included wheat (Triticum aestivum), maize (Zea mays), white clover (Trifolium repens), alfalfa (Medicago sativa), and ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum). The physiological and microbial parameters of plants and soil were affected negatively by the 4 % TPHs soil contamination. The studied physiological parameters were fresh and dried biomass, root and shoot length, and chlorophyll content. Microbial parameters included root and shoot endophytic count. Soil parameters included rhizospheric CFUs and residual TPHs. Biochar with wheat, maize, and ryegrass (Fabaceae family) and compost with white clover and alfalfa (Poaceae family) improved plant growth parameters and showed better phytoremediation of TPHs. Among different plants, the highest TPH removal (68.5 %) was demonstrated by ryegrass with compost, followed by white clover with biochar (68 %). Without any soil amendment, ryegrass and alfalfa showed 59.55 and 35.21 % degradation of TPHs, respectively. Biochar and compost alone removed 27.24 % and 6.01 % TPHs, respectively. The interactive effect of soil amendment and plant type was also noted for studied parameters and TPHs degradation The authors are also thankful to the Austrian Institute of Technology (AIT) and Horticulture Department of NARC, Islamabad, for providing biochar, compost, and seeds needed for experimentation application/pdf eng Elsevier Chemosphere. 2022, V. 286, n. 2, art. 131782 https://doi.org/10.1016/j.chemosphere.2021.131782 Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internacional http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess Phytoremediation TPHs Poaceae plants Fabaceae plants Biochar Compost Suelos-Descontaminación Soil remediation Interactive effect of biochar and compost with Poaceae and Fabaceae plants on remediation of total petroleum hydrocarbons in crude oil contaminated soil info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersion Chemosphere 286 2 131782
