Amending Pb-affected soil with biochar (BH) and magnesium potassium phosphate cement (MKC) reduces Pb uptake in plants. Moreover, foliar applications of melatonin proline are also known to reduce plant oxidative stress uptake. However, little is about combining both techniques, i.e., adding a combo immobilizing dose (CIA = mixture BH MKC at 50:50 ratio) Pb-polluted application for reducing spinach. Control, proline, melatonin, CIA, CIA+proline, CIA+melatonin were the treatments utilized this...
Due to freshwater scarcity in developing countries, irrigating the arable land with wastewater poses potential ecological risks environment and food quality. Using cheap soil amendments foliar application of a newly discovered molecule “melatonin” (ML) can alleviate these effects. The objectives this pot study were evaluate effectiveness sole addition chitosan (CH) sugar beet factory lime (SBL) impacted soil, ML, combining each amendment ML on heavy metals (HMs) accumulation, growth,...
Ecological and human health risks associated with Ni-affected soils are one of the major attention seeking issues nowadays. The current investigation is based on usage biochar (BR), chitosan (CN), bentonite (BE), their mixture to immobilize Ni in a Ni-polluted soil accordingly contracted distribution lentil plant parts, improved grain nutritional quality, antioxidant defense system, enzymatic activities. was initially amended CN, BE, BR later grown this pots. Results depicted highest...
