Cadmium (Cd) is one of the heavy metals that negatively affects growth plants. High solubilization in water leads Cd to enter into plants quite easily, thus decreasing seed germination, photosynthesis, and transpiration. It also shows an antagonistic effect with many plants' nutrients like Mn, Ca, K, Mg Fe. Nowadays, inoculation ACC deaminase (ACCD) rhizobacteria mitigate Cd's adverse effects has drawn attention environmental microbiologists. The secrete organic compounds can immobilize...
High lead (Pb) concentration in soils is becoming a severe threat to human health. It also deteriorates plants, growth, yield and quality of food. Although the use plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR), biochar compost can be effective environment-friendly amendments for decreasing Pb stress crop impacts their simultaneous co-application has not been well documented. Thus current study was carried, conducted investigate role mixed (CB) under on selected soil properties agronomic...
Drought stress is one of the serious threats to crop production. It causes significant deterioration growth and yield by inducing oxidative stress. The biochar arbuscular mycorrhizae fungi (AMF) can be an effective technique overcome drought Activated carbon (BC) has potential improve soil water holding capacity while AMF inoculation increase root surface area for better uptake water. However, their combined application as amendment against still needs scientific justification. That's why...
The impact of heavy metal, i.e., cadmium (Cd), on the growth, photosynthetic pigments, gas exchange characteristics, oxidative stress biomarkers, and antioxidants machinery (enzymatic non-enzymatic antioxidants), ions uptake, organic acids exudation, ultra-structure membranous bounded organelles two rice (Oryza sativa L.) genotypes (Shan 63 Lu 9803) were investigated with without exogenous application ferrous sulfate (FeSO4). Two O. grown under different levels CdCl2 [0 (no Cd), 50 100 µM]...
The effects of different land-use types on physicochemical properties and erodibility indices in suitable utilization soil are the most important issue to be investigated. That's why current study was carried out investigate changes physical, chemical indexes under i.e., larch-fir forests, adjacent pasture, riparian areas. Soil samples were collected from land use Meydan Pond micro-basin. Five subsamples taken at 0–10 cm depth five sampling spots each one three systems (i.e., forest, areas)....
Drought stress is one of the major abiotic factors that cause a significant decline in crop's productivity. It can disturb photosynthesis by inducing oxidative producing reactive oxygen species. Recently, use quantum has gained attention scientists due to its potential positive impacts on plants under conditions. That's why current study was conducted explore impact Zn-quantum dot biochar (QDB) rapeseed growth drought stress. There were four levels QDB, i.e., control (no QDB), 0.2%, 0.4%,...
An angle-measuring technique based on an optical interferometer is reported. The exploits a Michelson interferometric configuration in which right-angle prism and glass strip are introduced into probe beam. Simultaneous rotation of both components along axis results path difference between the reference beams. In second arrangement two prisms strips beams interferometer. rotated simultaneously to introduce our arrangement, optimization various parameters makes net approximately linear for as...
Objectives As a liquid organic fertilizer used in agriculture, digestate is rich many nutrients (i.e. nitrogen, phosphorus, sulfur, calcium, potassium); their utilization may be however less efficient soils poor carbon (due to low carbon:nitrogen ratio). In order solve the disadvantages, enrichment with carbon-rich amendments biochar or humic acids (Humac) was tested. Methods Soil variants amended enriched digestate: + biochar, Humac, and combined acids—were compared control untreated effect...
Cadmium (Cd) is a heavy metal that neutrally occurs in soil. It carcinogenic humans and caused significant decline the plant's growth when up has taken beyond threshold limit. The fertilizers, manure, sewage sludge, aerial deposition are main source of cadmium contamination Furthermore, poor soil organic matter also one allied factors which facilitate development Cd toxicity decomposition resistance nature biochar makes it an effective amendment for remediation. Through crop production,...
Abstract Salinity stress is one of the major hurdles in agriculture which adversely affects crop production. It can cause osmotic imbalance, ion toxicity that disrupts essential nutrient balance, impaired uptake, stunted growth, increased oxidative stress, altered metabolism, and diminished yield quality. However, foliar application osmoprotectant becoming popular to resolve this issue crops. These osmoprotectants regulate cellular balance protect plants from detrimental effects high salt...
In different heavy metals, cadmium is one of the acute toxins. It also interferes with various physiological processes in plants, such as photosynthesis, respiration, and enzyme activity. To improve growth plants Cd stress, arbuscular mycorrhizae can play an imperative role. On other hand, use quantum dots technology gaining attention scientists. That's why current study investigates effectiveness using zinc dot biochar (ZQDB) mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) alleviating (Cd) stress maize plants. The...
In this study, experimental apparatus of desiccant dehumidification was developed at lab-scale, using silica gel as a material. Experimental data were obtained various ambient air conditions, while focusing the climatic conditions Multan (Pakistan). A steady-state analysis approach for process used, and thereby slope line on psychrometric chart (ϕ*) determined. It has been found that ϕ* = 0.22 in case which is lower than hydrophilic polymeric sorbent, i.e., 0.31. The study proposed two kinds...
The study aims to investigate Maisotsenko cycle evaporative cooling assisted solid desiccant air-conditioning (M-DAC) system for agricultural storage application. Conventional (AC) systems used this application are refrigeration-based which expensive as they consume excessive amount of primary-energy. In regard, the developed a lab-scale silica gel-based AC (DAC) system. Thermodynamic performance was investigated using various adsorption/dehumidification and desorption/regeneration cycles....
Abstract Nickel (Ni) is a heavy metal that adversely affects the growth of different crops by inducing oxidative stress and nutrient imbalance. The role rhizobacteria (RB) vital to resolve this issue. They can promote root facilitate uptake water nutrients, resulting in better crop growth. On other hand, γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) maintain osmotic balance scavenge reactive oxygen species under conditions. However, combined effect GABA RB has not been thoroughly explored alleviate Ni...
