The application of biodegradable chelating agents to enhance phytoremediation is a low-cost and promising method to improve the remediation efficiency of heavy metal–contaminated soil. The effects of N, N-bis glutamic acid (GLDA) on the growth and heavy metal absorption of Solanum nigrum were studied by pot experiment. The addition of chelate on the 20th day after sowing can improve the bioavailability of cadmium (Cd) in the soil. The results showed that the addition of chelating agents effectively improved the migration rate of the target heavy metal Cd in the soil, and significantly increased the accumulation of heavy metal in the roots, stems, and leaves of plants. The results showed that compared with the control group, the chelating agent could increase the extraction rate of total Cd by 28.65–68.74%. The application of GLDA significantly increased the accumulation of Cd (20 mg kg⁻¹ and 40 mg kg⁻¹), reaching 24.28–40.30 and 25.71–33.16 μg of pot⁻¹ DW, respectively. At the same time, GLDA increased Cd stress by decreasing plant biomass, inhibiting photosynthetic pigment synthesis and increasing MDA levels. These results indicated that GLDA could improve the absorption of Cd by S. nigrum, which provided a new idea for its practical application in the remediation of Cd-contaminated soil.
