Amending Pb-affected soil with biochar (BH) and magnesium potassium phosphate cement (MKC) reduces Pb uptake in plants. Moreover, foliar applications of melatonin proline are also known to reduce plant oxidative stress uptake. However, little is about combining both techniques, i.e., adding a combo immobilizing dose (CIA = mixture BH MKC at 50:50 ratio) Pb-polluted application for reducing spinach. Control, proline, melatonin, CIA, CIA+proline, CIA+melatonin were the treatments utilized this...
The higher termites (Termitidae) are keystone species and ecosystem engineers. They have exceptional biomass play important roles in decomposition of dead plant matter, soil manipulation, as the primary food for many animals, especially tropics. Higher most diverse rainforests, with estimated origins late Eocene (∼54 Ma), postdating breakup Pangaea Gondwana when continents became separated. Since poor fliers, their origin spread across globe requires alternative explanation. Here, we show...
Anthropogenic activities contaminate soils with heavy metal concentrations including lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), copper (Cu), and chromium (Cr). Pb has higher potential for ready accumulation, sedimentation, poisoning of the soil than other metals. The present study was conducted to induce tolerance, in solution culture-grown cotton, by exogenous glycinebetaine (GB) application using 3 levels (0, 50, 100 µm) 2 GB (0 1 mM). results revealed that stress decreased gas exchange characteristics (net...
Drought stress hampers firm crop stand establishment and yield in arid semiarid regions. The present study was conducted to examine the drought tolerance of various mung bean cultivars/lines based on seed germination characteristics relation with seedling's antioxidative potential nutrient uptake. Activities enzymes, attributes, seedling biomass production uptake studied were adversely affected due PEG-induced but total soluble proteins (TSP) malondialdehyde (MDA) contents increased....
Water stress is a major problem to fulfill the world food demand and solve of malnutrition. Different strategies are being used these problems including fertigation plants with different biochemical at growth stages. The present study was conducted for induction drought tolerance in field grown wheat better yield nutritional quality through foliar spray α-tocopherol (α-Toc) start reproductive stage. maintained based on number irrigation. Three levels α-Toc 0.001, 0.01 0.1 mM were applied as...
Copper (Cu) is an important micronutrient for a plant’s normal growth and development. However, excess amount of Cu in the soil causes many severe problems plants—which ultimately affect crop productivity yield. Moreover, contents oxidative damage plant tissues by generating reactive oxygen species (ROS). The present experiment was designed to investigate phytoextraction potential Cu, morpho-physiological features biochemical reaction jute (Corchorus capsularis L.) seedlings using...
Through its impact on morphogenesis, light is the key environmental factor that alters plant structural development; however, understanding how controls growth and developmental processes still poor needs further research. For this purpose, a Petri dish pot experiment was conducted to investigate effects of different LEDs, i.e., white (WL), red (RL), blue (BL), orange (OL) morphology, gas-exchange parameters, antioxidant capacity Brassica napus. Compared with WL, RL significantly promoted...
Biotic and abiotic stresses significantly affect plant fitness, resulting in a serious loss food production. predominantly metabolite biosynthesis, gene protein expression, genome variations. However, light doses of stress result the production positive attributes crops, like tolerance to biosynthesis metabolites, called hormesis. Advancement artificial intelligence (AI) has enabled development high-throughput gadgets such as high-resolution imagery sensors robotic aerial vehicles, i.e.,...
Tribolium castaneum (Herbst) (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) is one of the major insect pests stored grains. Due to export legislation and zero-tolerance for live in trade commodities, extensive use synthetic insecticides practice order eliminate pest infestations from lots. Currently, only acceptable chemical be used grain phosphine but due its excessive usage are becoming resistant against it. Hence discovery alternative compounds much needed. In this study we have compared insecticidal...
Cereals are staple food for many countries and grown on millions of hectares land, but much the harvest is wasted due to losses by pests. To minimize these losses, pesticides used which damaging environment human health. There debates get rid chemicals they still in use at large scale. An alternative control strategy insect pests storage houses botanicals. In this study, four plant essential oils, two extracts, herbicides, insecticides were against Tribolium confusum comparison toxicity was...
Most of the world's crop production and plant growth are anticipated to be seriously threatened by increasing tropospheric ozone (O3) levels. The current study demonstrates how different mung bean genotypes reacted elevated level O3 in presence exogenous ascorbic silicic acid treatments. It is first report outline potential protective effects applications against toxicity 12 {Vigna radiata (L.) Wilken} varieties. Under controlled circumstances, present investigation was conducted a glass...
Abstract BACKGROUND Elevated levels of tropospheric ozone (O 3 ) pose a significant threat to plant health and productivity. Developing ozone‐tolerant varieties is crucial for mitigating these environmental stresses. This study investigates the effects ascorbic acid (AA) silicic (SA) treatments on 12 different mung bean under elevated O conditions. RESULTS A controlled pot experiment was conducted with four treatments: ambient (40–45 ppb), (120 (0.1 mmol L −1 ), high (10 ). High stress...
Maize (Zea mays L.) is main cereal, which mainly affected by nutrient scarcity. With the objective to resolve scarcity in maize through integration of inorganic fertilizer with organic vermiwash (Vw), an experiment was executed during spring season 2019 and 2020, having Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) replicating thrice. The treatments involve F1: 100% recommended chemical + No spray (control); F2: Positive control (water spray); F3: 75% alligator weed Vw 15%; F4: alfalfa F5: rice...
