Nanotechnology has a wide range of applications. refers to the particle in nanoscale used improve agricultural productivity and encounter unsolved problems conventionally. Nanostructured formulation through mechanisms, such as targeted delivery or slow/controlled release mechanisms well conditional release, could their active ingredients response environmental conditions biological demands more precisely. great potential for achieving sustainable agriculture, especially developing countries....
In this study, we examined the potential role of phosphate (P; 0, 50, 100 mg kg-1) on growth, gas exchange attributes, and photosynthetic pigments Brassica napus juncea under arsenic (As) stress (0, 25, 75 in a pot experiment. Results revealed that supplementation (P100) to As-stressed plants significantly increased shoot As concentration, dry biomass yield, uptake, addition improved morphological attributes over P0. However, phosphate-assisted increase uptake was substantially (up two...
A restricted dietary range and a deficit of essential minerals such as zinc (Zn) characterize the diets under-nourished people. Zn deficiency is global nutritional problem intensity issue even severe in developing countries. Cereal grains are key to fulfill person's daily energy requirements, but they have very low grain concentrations, especially when grown Zn-deficient soils. Zinc can be addressed several ways viz., diversification, food enrichment biofortification. Several limitations...
Abstract The residual antibiotics in the environment have lately caused widespread concerns. However, little information is available on antibiotic bioaccumulation and its health risk drinking water resources of South China. Therefore, occurrence, distribution, four quinolone including ofloxacin (OFX), norfloxacin (NOR), ciprofloxacin (CIP), enrofloxacin (ENR) Qingshitan reservoir using high-performance liquid chromatography were investigated. Results revealed that concentrations water,...
Changing climate, food shortage, water scarcity and rapidly increasing population are some of the emerging challenges globally. Drought stress is most devastating threat for agricultural productivity. Natural plant growth substances intensively used to improve productivity crop plants grown under stressed benign environments. The current study evaluated whether leaf extract different moringa ( Moringa oleifera L.) could play a role in improving drought-tolerance rice Oryza sativa L.). Rice...
Climate change and cadmium (Cd) contamination pose severe threats to rice production food security. Biochar (BC) has emerged as a promising soil amendment for mitigating these challenges. To investigate the BC effects on paddy upon GHG emissions, Cd bioavailability, its accumulation, meta-analysis of published data from 2000 2023 was performed. Data Manager 5.3 GetData plot Digitizer software were used obtain process selected parameters. Our results showed significant increase 18% in pH with...
Contamination by petroleum hydrocarbons (PHs) is a great threat to environment due the higher persistence and bio-toxicity of PHs. Therefore, removal PHs from contaminated strategies reduce their toxic effects on living organisms are crucial for environmental safety human health. The polluted soil can be reduced addition microbes biochar. In this study, pot trial was carried out evaluate sugarcane bagasse (SB) biochar Bacillus sp. MN54 phytoremediation growth maize (Zea mays L.) in...
Carbon isotope fractionation was investigated for the biotransformation of γ- and α- hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH) as well enantiomers α-HCH using two aerobic bacterial strains: Sphingobium indicum strain B90A japonicum UT26. enrichment factors (ε(c)) γ-HCH (ε(c) = -1.5 ± 0.1 ‰ -1.7 0.2 ‰) -1.0 -1.6 0.3 were similar both strains, but lower in comparison with previously reported values anaerobic degradation. Isotope higher (+) -2.4 0.8 -3.3 to (-) -0.7 0.6 ‰). The microbial between quantified...
The contamination of crude oil in soil matrices is a persistent problem with negative repercussions because the recalcitrant, hazardous, and mutagenic properties its constituents. To mitigate effect soil, use microorganisms cheap feasible option. In current study, bacterial species from numerous polluted field surfaces were isolated examined for their ability to degrade oil. Random samples hydrocarbons collected various isolates isolated. Results revealed that 40% total had potential...
Glyphosate is a non-selective herbicide that used to control perennial weeds in agriculture. However, its vast application may result glyphosate residues the food chain. Due toxicity non-target organisms, glyphosate-contaminated soils needed be remediated, and bioremediation conventional remedial method. The success of this depends on isolation bacteria with ability degrade glyphosate. goal study was isolate glyphosate-degrading from rhizosphere maize wheat repeated history for 5–10 years...
Climate change significantly affects crop production and is a threat to global food security. Conventional tillage (CT) the primary practice in rain-fed areas conserve soil moisture. Despite previous research on effect of methods different cropping systems, comparison water storage, yield use wheat (Triticum aestivum) maize (Zea mays) under textures, precipitation temperature patterns needed. We reviewed 119 published articles used meta-analysis assess effects three conservation practices...
The impacts of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) as nanofertilizers on the transformation phytogenic organic phosphorus (OP), specifically phytic acid (PA) and soy lecithin (LE), well their effects soil microbial functions, remain insufficiently characterized. This study employed a 60-day microuniverse experiment to investigate responses OP under ZnO NPs exposure, focusing physicochemical properties, (P) Zn species transformations, bacterial community function. At low concentrations (5 20...
Technical hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH) mixtures and Lindane (γ-HCH) have been produced in Bitterfeld-Wolfen, Germany, for about 30 years until 1982. In the vicinity of former dump sites production facilities, large plumes HCHs persist within two aquifer systems. We studied natural attenuation HCH these groundwater systems through a combination enantiomeric carbon isotope fractionation to characterize degradation α-HCH areas downstream disposal site Bitterfeld-Wolfen. The concentration...
