Soil pollution with heavy metal is a serious problem across the globe and on rise due to current intensification of chemical industry. The leather industry one them, discharging chromium (Cr) in huge quantities during process tanning polluting nearby land water resources, resulting deterioration plant growth. In this study, effects biochar application at rate 3% were studied four maize cultivars, namely NK-8441, P-1543, NK-8711, FH-985, grown two different tannery polluted Kasur (K) Sialkot...
The physiological and nutrient uptake performance of two wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivars (Lasani-2008 Auqab-2000) to foliar application 1% potassium (K) at three different growth stages (tillering, flower initiation grain filling) was investigated under water limited environment in a wire house experiment the Nuclear Institute for Agriculture Biology, Faisalabad.The aim find out best K stage improvement drought tolerance potential.Drought stress created by withholding irrigation then...
Background Low phosphorus availability limits crop production in alkaline calcareous soils semi-arid regions including Pakistan. Phosphate solubilizing bacteria may improve growth on due to their ability enhance P availability. Methods Twenty rhizobacterial isolates (Q1–Q20) were isolated from rhizosphere of cotton and characterized for promoting attributes vitro . The selected phosphate further screened under axenic conditions (jar trial). solubilization capacities strains quantified these...
Wheat is one of the best-domesticated cereal crops and vital sources nutrition for humans. An investigation was undertaken to reveal potential novel bio-inoculants enriching micronutrients in shoot grains wheat crop eliminate hazards malnutrition. Sole as well consortia inoculation significantly enhanced mineral nutrients including zinc (Zn) iron (Fe) concentrations wheat. Various treatments increase Zn Fe content up 1-15% 3-13%, respectively. Bacillus aryabhattai (S10) impressively improves...
Untreated wastewater used for irrigating crops is the major source of toxic heavy metals and other pollutants in soils. These affect plant growth deteriorate quality edible parts growing plants. Phytohormone (IAA) exopolysaccharides (EPS) producing growth-promoting rhizobacteria can reduce toxicity by stabilizing them soil. The present experiment was conducted to evaluate IAA EPS-producing rhizobacterial strains improving growth, physiology, antioxidant activity Brassica juncea (L.) under...
Caffeic acid (CA) is known as an antioxidant to scavenge reactive oxygen species (ROS), but the underlying mechanism of mediation plant salt tolerance against various abiotic stresses by caffeic only partially understood. A field experiment (120 days duration) was conducted investigate protective role under a high saline medium (EC 8.7 dS m -1 and textural class: sandy loam) in two wheat genotypes (FSD -08 Zincol-16). Two levels (50 μM 100 μM) were applied exogenously combination with...
Long-term use of chemical fertilizers is affecting the environment, soil quality, and biodiversity. Organic agriculture gaining global attention by using microbial-based biofertilizers. Carriers protect microbes providing nutrition, energy, suitable conditions for their survival while entering natural environments. The purpose this study was to evaluate ability different carrier materials enhance yield quality spinach select best material biofertilizer. Three pre-isolated characterized...
The present study was conducted to screen out elite pomegranates through determination of biochemical diversity in wild and cultivated genotypes for a breeding program fresh/processed use industry. results showed high morphological accessions pomegranate fruits as compared genotypes. first six principal components covered 80.75 75.49% 53 62 genotypes, respectively. High values the coefficient variance (10.78–18.62%), range minimum maximum total soluble solids, titratable acidity, ascorbic...
Emergence of unproductive vegetative shoots/flushes is considered to be a main cause low yield, irregular bearing, and malformation inflorescences in mango. Selected mango trees the cultivars ‘Chaunsa’, ‘Dushehare’, ‘Anwar Ratool’ growing subtropical region Khanewal (30°18′0N, 71°56′0E), district Pakistan, were characterized as having excessive growth, erratic flowering, fruiting with declining productivity due inflorescences. Paclobutrazol soil drenching was evaluated method suppress growth...
<p>Cadmium (Cd) is a highly hazardous metal known for its easy absorption and accumulation in plants, particularly edible vegetable oils. Sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) holds global significance as an oil crop. This study aims to assess the potential of zinc-solubilizing bacterial strains reducing cadmium uptake by enhancing zinc availability sunflower plants. For this investigation, we selected twelve pre-isolated (ZSB) screening against tolerance were evaluated their...
