Abstract	Heavy metal contamination presents a major threat to agricultural productivity and ecosystem health, negatively impacting plant growth, physiology, and metabolism. Traditional Indian knowledge systems, including Ayurveda, indigenous farming methods, and environmentally conscious practices, offer effective solutions for tackling heavy metal contamination in plants. These systems emphasize sustainable techniques such as using native plants for phytoremediation, organic fertilizers like cow dung and neem-based products, and eco-friendly farming practices. These combined methods promote plant health, enhance soil fertility, and contribute to long-term agricultural sustainability. By integrating these traditional approaches with modern scientific methods, we can develop effective strategies to reduce the harmful effects of heavy metals on plants.
Keywords	Heavy metals, Panchagavya, Biochar, Phytoremediation, Sustainability.
