AB Horticultural crops irrigated with sewage wastewater have enhanced metal toxicity. Among heavy metals, vanadium most adversely affects vegetative growth, crop yield, and overall fruit quality of horticultural crops globally. The accumulation of vanadium metal disrupts different physiological processes of plants, influencing the overall performance, including growth, yield and quality aspects. Horticultural crops subjected to vanadium toxicity exhibit reduced photosynthesis, metabolic disturbances, and imbalanced nutrient assimilation. Metabolic processes are impaired due to oxidative harms under vanadium toxicity. However, the activation of enzymatic properties was also revealed under vanadium toxicity to cope with oxidative harm. So, different management practices can be used to lessen the adverse effects of vanadium toxicity. These management approaches include the utilization of phytohormones, bio-stimulants, soil microorganisms, biochar, and the selection of vanadium-tolerant cultivars. The application of these management strategies has the potential to lessen vanadium toxicity in horticultural crops. So, the present review explores applying different mitigation strategies to improve stress tolerance against vanadium toxicity in horticulture crops.
