Mitigation of metal toxicity by the use of different amendments may be an important strategy for improving the plant growth and yield in metal polluted soils. Present study aimed to evaluate the efficiency of different amendments including Phosphate Rock (PR), Silicon (Si), Farmyard Manure (FYM) and Bacterial Inoculation (BI) either individually or integratedly for the detoxification of Cadmium (Cd) in sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.). Experimental plan consisted of three Cd levels (control, 20 and 40 mg kg -1 ), two PR levels (control and 5 g kg -1 ), two Si levels (control and 100 mg Si kg -1 as sodium silicate), two FYM levels (control and 5% w/w of soil), two BI levels (non-inoculated and inoculated) and integrated use of PR+Si+FYM+BI. Results revealed that Cd concentration increased by 14.3 and 16.5 times in roots, 12.0 and 21.6 times in stems, 17.0 and 45.0 times in upper leaves while 21.0 and 34.0 times in lower leaves, and 6.6 and 11.0 times in achenes at Cd-1 and Cd-2, respectively compared with control, with the subsequent reduction in plant growth, yield and physiological characteristics of sunflower. All the four amendments were effective to mitigate the deleterious effects of Cd on sunflower growth, yield and physiological behavior in the order of PR+Si+FYM+BI > Si > BI > PR > FYM. Integrated use of PR+Si+FYM+BI reduced Cd concentration by 77.1 and 83.3% in roots, 76.0 and 82.1% in stems, and 85.4 and 85.9% in achenes, while reduced malondialdehyde by 69.7 and 67.4%, with a corresponding improvement in chlorophyll 51.0 and 79.4%, photosynthetic rate 30.5 and 79.4% while achene yield 65.8 and 76.7% at Cd-1 and Cd-2, respectively compared with respective Cd treatments without amendments. In conclusion, integrated use of different organic and inorganic amendments could be an important strategy to mitigate Cd toxicity in sunflower.
