Rice production improved while reducing mercury levels below quality standards with the use of phytoremediators.
Eceng gondok and jerango applied with 10 plants per plot demonstrated the best reduction in mercury content.
A randomized block design investigated various rice varieties and populations of phytoremediators for effectiveness.
Implementing effective phytoremediation strategies highlights the potential for safer agricultural practices with reduced contamination.
