Abstract A comparative pot study was performed to assess the toxic effects of copper (Cu) and/or zinc (Zn) contaminated wastewater (WW) irrigation on growth, physiology, and element concentration wheat grown for two months. The treatments included with uncontaminated as control, Cu‐contaminated WW (CuWW), Zn‐contaminated (ZnWW), Cu + Zn (CuZnWW) in a completely randomized design. Compared ZnWW, CuWW or CuZnWW had severe mineral absorption by wheat. Irrigation reduced shoot length, root dry...
Hemp inflorescences are a source of vital compounds, including phytocannabinoids and other biologically active compounds. Various methods adapted for the extraction these compounds such as use different organic solvents. This study aimed to assess comparative potential three solvents: deionized water, 70% methanol (MeOH), 2% Triton X-100, phytochemicals in hemp inflorescences. Spectrophotometric techniques were applied investigate total amount polyphenolic (TPC), flavonoids contents (TF),...
A pot study was conducted to assess the potential of green waste compost on soil properties, growth, physiology, and metal uptake lettuce plants grown in acidic neutral loam-textured soils irrigated with copper- zinc-polluted wastewater (WW). The experiment consists sixteen treatments involving two different without addition (compost NoCompost) unpolluted WW, Cu-polluted Zn-polluted Cu- plus arranged following factorial layout three replications. results illustrated that WW significantly...
Phytoremediation of heavy metal contaminated soils represents a promising technique and salt-tolerant hyperaccumulators for multiple metals are the need time. Therefore, phytoremediation potential four grass species [Dhab (Desmostachya bipinnata), Kallar (Leptochloa fusca), Para (Brachiaria mutica) Sporobolus (Sporobolus arabicus Boiss)] was evaluated cadmium (Cd) lead (Pb) in hydroponic study. The plants were harvested after growth period 3 months nutrient solution containing different...
The effects of foliar application boron (B) in the form boric acid on vegetative and reproductive growth, yield fruit quality ‘Kinnow’ mandarin (Citrus reticulate Blanco.) were investigated. Kinnow was sprayed with different concentrations viz. (0.1%, 0.2%, 0.3% 0.4%) at set stage. Leaf nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K), B, zinc (Zn) along flush length, tree height, spread trunk diameter increased, while leaf length age showed non-significant results after B application. Yield...
Agricultural waste can have a catastrophic impact on climate change, as it contributes significantly to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions if not managed sustainably. Swine-digestate-manure-derived biochar may be one sustainable way manage and tackle GHG in temperate climatic conditions. The purpose of this study was ascertain how such could used reduce soil emissions. Spring barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) pea crops 2020 2021, respectively, were treated with 25 t ha-1 swine-digestate-manure-derived...
This work aims to assess growth, physiology, and metal uptake response of Brachiaria mutica Leptochloa fusca under different contamination levels Cd (10 50 mg kg−1) Pb (50 250 stress. Results pot trial showed increasing concentration affected B. more as compared L. fusca. In stress substantially reduced shoot dry biomass, root total chlorophylls, carotenoids contents by 89%, 85%, 65%, 61%, respectively, while enhanced the SOD activity up 62 U min−1 g−1 FW. better chlorophylls carotenoid...
Industrial wastewater contains a variety of contaminants like salts, organic carbon, and heavy metals.Among the metals, cadmium (Cd) lead (Pb) are considered highly toxic even at low concentration.These metals could enter food chain through process phytoassimilation, hence, lethal for living beings.The present study aimed to investigate Cd Pb phytoextraction in four grass species viz.Dhab (D esmostachya bipinnata), Sporobolus (Sporobolus arabicus), Kallar (Leptochloa fusca) Para (Brachiaria...
This study (pot experiment) investigated and compared the effectiveness of Se(VI) Se(IV) application at a rate 1.25 mg Se kg−1 soil on growth, physiology, yield As uptake by spring wheat an uncontaminated As-contaminated (1.5 kg−1) soil. Selenate improved grain yield, relative water contents, membrane stability index, total chlorophylls, antioxidant activities up to 43%, 18.6%, 9.5%, 16.4% 15–46%, respectively, control under Se(IV), in accordance with above results, resulted 5-fold higher...
Legumes compensate mineral fertilizer by fixing nitrogen due to the specialized structures i.e. nodules Rhizobium species. Literature revealed that legumes fixed inoculation from 50-300 kg NPK ha -1 year . besides fixation, solubilized phosphates, produced growth hormones and its root colonizing ability improved yield of non-legumes also performed as plant promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR). Study was conducted assess relative efficiency species for cotton. Different isolates five responsible...
Rhizobium besides its nodule formation characteristic with members of Fabaceae family has been recognized for great root colonizing ability and growth hormone production potential. In addition to nitrogen fixation in legume plants, rhizobia considered as beneficial tools act plant promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) many non-legumes. Present study was elucidated determine the comparative role Rhizbium sp promotion sunflower. Rhizobia were isolated from five different legumes (mungbean, barseem,...
