The relationships between soil aggregates, aggregate-associated carbon (C), and compaction indices in pomegranate orchards of varying ages (0–30 years) Assiut, Egypt, were investigated. Soil bulk density (Bd) organic (OC) content increased with orchard age both the surface (0.00–0.20 m) subsurface (0.20–0.40 layers 0.20–0.40 m). percentage macroaggregates (R0.25) their OC aggregate fraction > 0.250 mm as layer Older show improved structure, indicated by higher mean weight diameter (MWD)...
Abstract Copper (Cu) toxicity is a pressing concern for several soils, especially in organic viticulture. The objective of this work was to assess Cu on the non-target organism Eisenia fetida , employing both traditional and novel tools early identification Cu-induced damages. In addition tests like avoidance reproductive experiments, other such as single cell gel electrophoresis (SCGE) gut microbiome analysis were evaluated identify more sensitive pollution biomarkers. Four sub-lethal...
The review deals with the environmental problem caused by low or moderate nickel concentrations in soils. main effects of this potentially toxic element on soil biota and most common crop species are addressed. Moreover, paper emphasises biological remediation methods against pollution European focus is well-accepted phytoremediation strategy alone combination other more less innovative bioremediation approaches such as microbial bioremediation, vermiremediation use amendments sequestrants....
A soil and an organic biomix (soil/vine branch/garden compost 20/40/40) were used in this lab experiment to evaluate adsorption degradation parameters for three pesticides (chlorpyrifos, metalaxyl cymoxanil) a vineyard. Adsorption the material was higher than chlorpyrifos most adsorbed pesticide. The role of carbon is essential enhancing adsortion pesticides, especially apolar chlorpyrifos. Degradation generally faster although process slower case if compared with other two chemicals, due...
Earthworms and microbial communities are essential non-target soil organisms that useful to assess the collateral impact of pesticides. The present paper reports three laboratory experiments performed investigate effects sub-lethal doses two insecticides, a biologically-derived (spinosad) synthetic organophosphate (chlorpyrifos), on earthworm Eisenia foetida microorganisms in organic soil. were studied terms behaviour, reproduction, survival, DNA damage (comet assay) earthworms, Next...
BiomassBed is an indirect system designed to collect accidental pesticide spills as well water remnants of tank sprayers. This was installed in a vineyard and tested bio-cleaning that contaminated by fungicides two-year-field experiment. At the end each treatment, wastewater sprayer tanks containing mixtures cymoxanil, dimethomorph, metalaxyl M, folpet, penconazole, cyprodinil, fludioxonil, azoxystrobin, mandipropamid, pyraclostrobin at different concentrations were discharged into...
The phytoremediation potential of four crop species cultivated on carbonation lime coming from the sugar industry with water-soluble nickel (Ni) exceeding Italian legal limit 10 µg L-1 was assessed. Two autumn-winter (spinach and canola) were tested without addition bentonite in a greenhouse experiment order to overcome prolonged unfavourable weather conditions. spring-summer (sunflower sorghum) grown outdoor boxes. Plant selected among crops interest for their rotation throughout year...
The present study aimed to i) assess the disintegration of a novel bio-packaging during aerobic composting (2 and 6 % tested concentrations) evaluate resulting compost ii) analyse ecotoxicity bioplastics residues on earthworms; iii) microbial communities in 'earthworms' gut after their exposure bioplastic residues; iv) correlate microbiota with analyses; v) chemico-physical characterisation earthworms' exposure. Both concentrations showed close 90 from first sampling time, chemical analyses...
A laboratory experiment was carried out to test the efficiency of a bio-mixture made up pruning residues at two (PR2) and five (PR5) years composting wheat straw (STW) in biological cleaning water contaminated by different mixtures fungicides usually employed vineyards. The conducted reproduced scale 1:100 operating field conditions. Commercial formulates penconazole (PC), (RS)-1-[2-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)pentyl]-1H-1,2,4-triazole), dimetomorph (DM),...
