Research on nanoparticles (NPs) is gaining great attention in modulating abiotic stress tolerance and improving crop productivity. Therefore, this investigation was carried out to evaluate the effects of copper oxide (CuO-NPs) growth biochemical characteristics two maize hybrids (YH-5427 FH-1046) grown under normal conditions or subjected saline stress. A pot-culture experiment Botanical Area “the University Lahore”, Lahore, Pakistan, a completely randomized design. At phenological stages,...
The objective of this work was to evaluate the suitability carbohydrates and amino compounds in soil organic matter (SOM) fractions depict management‐induced changes over short‐term course. Soil samples were collected from two experimental fields managed according farming regulations a sequential fractionation procedure applied separate light fraction (LF), particulate (POM), mobile humic acid (MHA). Contents determined correspondent SOM fractions. Over 2‐year course, carbohydrate contents...
Diclofenac (DCF) is one of the most detected pharmaceuticals in environmental water matrices and known to be recalcitrant conventional wastewater treatment plants. In this study, degradation DCF was performed by photolysis photocatalysis using a new synthetized photocatalyst based on hydroxyapatite TiO₂ (HApTi). A 95% target compound achieved 24 h photocatalytic employing HApTi catalyst comparison only 60% removal photolytic process. The investigation photo-transformation products means...
Abstract Background The quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged, and safe (QuEChERS) method can be employed for multi-residue analyses instead of traditional extraction methods due to its advantages in terms time required equipment. A modified version the QuEChERS has been developed quantifying eight pharmaceuticals belonging different classes three real soils with chemical properties. Firstly, have polluted all contaminants recoveries were determined by liquid chromatography tandem–mass...
The changes in soil organic matter composition induced by anthropogenic factors is a topic of great interest for the scientists. objective this work was to identify possible structural humic molecules caused 2-year rotation durum wheat with faba bean, lasted decade, and conducted different agricultural practices Mediterranean soil. Humic acids (HA) were extracted at three depths (0-30, 30-60 60-90 cm) from subjected tillage (no tillage, minimum conventional tillage), crops (faba bean wheat),...
Introduction Ensuring crop health is essential to meet the growing demand for food and effectively managing root-knot nematodes (RKNs) can help maximize agricultural output. Indeed, plant diseases caused by RKNs belonging genus Meloidogyne , among most harmful pests of horticultural crops, lead severe productivity economic losses. Methods This study aimed at assessing effectiveness wasted bread, brewers’ spent grain, coffee grounds, native or bioprocessed, suppress RKN incognita when used as...
Contaminants of emerging concern, such as pharmaceuticals (PhACs), are continuously introduced into agro-ecosystems through irrigation with treated wastewater (TWW). While this practice is increasingly common in drought regions, only limited information available on the fate PhACs within soil–plant system. For purpose, a two-year study was conducted by irrigating artichokes, non-inoculated and inoculated different arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, water containing at concentrations. The...
Abstract Four hundred hectares of the inland and hilly part Apulia Region (Southern Italy) were contaminated by using low‐quality composts for many years. That territory now belongs to a national park needs sustainable soil restoration. Therefore, greenhouse experiment was carried out test phytoremediation potential frugal Helichrysum italicum (Roth) Don, alone mycorrhized Septoglomus viscosum. The aims research (a) if H . can reduce content Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb, Zn; (b) identify in which...

Posidonia [ oceanica (L.) Delile] is a marine phanerogam endemic of the Mediterranean Sea that grows all along coast forming extensive underwater meadows. Senescent posidonia leaves, together with fibers (residues rhizomes and decomposed leaves), periodically accumulate beaches, covering vast areas coast. Removal disposal these large volumes plant biomasses represent high cost for local administrations. Therefore, in this experiment, beached residues were composted olive pruning green wastes...
Peat is the main component of growing media but also a non-renewable resource; therefore European policy strongly encourages use peat alternatives such as compost. Posidonia Mediterranean seagrass that produces very conspicuous onshore deposits can be composted. In this study, commercial green compost and residue-based were tested in order to assess their potential substitutes or complements peat.All macro micro-element concentrations substrates positively significantly related percentage...
