Irrigation of industrial effluents may end in the bioaccumulation various toxic metals and consequent genetic changes contaminated food crops. To test this hypothesis extent modifications, Allium cepa was performed to crops viz. tomato (Lycopersicum esculentum) chili (Capsicum annum) as is a useful tool assess variations plants. Prior A. test, plants were exposed metal concentrations 125-1000 mg/L synthetic wastewater. The extracts harvested used grow root following its standard method. tips...
Effect of composting on the extractability plant nutrients in organic wastes is essential for their recycling sustainable soil fertility management.Therefore, an experiment was carried out to determine concentrations total C, N, extractable P, K, Na and B five types fresh composted manures (namely buffalo, camel, cow, goat poultry).Laboratory results showed that elements varied considerably with type manure.Total C order cow > buffalo poultry camel while N goat.Total K decreased composting,...
Upper Indus Basin (UIB) supplies more than 70% flow to the downstream agricultural areas during summer due melting of snow and glacial ice. The estimation stream under future climatic projections is a pre-requisite manage water resources properly. This study focused on simulation snowmelt-runoff using Snowmelt-Runoff Model (SRM) current Representative Concentration Pathways (RCP 2.6, 4.5 8.5) climate scenarios in two main tributaries UIB namely Astore Hunza River basins. Remote sensing data...
Abstract This study aims to evaluate the plant species potential accumulate, concentrate and translocate heavy metals around coal mining contaminated site with at Harnoi, Abbottabad. The phytosociological surveys involve systematic of communities within particular area show their composition, structure distribution showed that mining-associated was poor in vegetation. Among these, 11 higher important values (IV) are collected associated soil analyzed for total concentrations Cadmium (Cd),...
ABSTRACT Soil salinity is a major abiotic factor limiting crop production but an amendment with synthetic zeolite may mitigate effects of stress on plants. The objective the study was to determine soil properties and growth barley irrigated diluted seawater. Barley raised sand dune treated calcium type at rate 1 5% every alternate day seawater electrical conductivity (EC) levels 3 16 dS m−1. Irrigation m−1 saline water significantly suppressed plant height by 25%, leaf area 44% dry weight...
Phytoremediation is a promising cleanup technology for contaminated soils, groundwater, and wastewater that both low-tech low-cost. The objective of this study was to investigate the ameliorative effect phytoremediation on municipal (MWW). For purpose, garden established using different aquatic plants species [Pistia stratiotes, Eichhornia crassipess, Hydrocotyle umbellatta, Lemna minor, Tyhpa latifolia, Scirpus acutus ] in seven earthen pond systems (P1-P7) cyclic treatment MWW....
The escalating issue of climate change presents an existential threat to biodiversity around the globe, necessitating advanced methods and techniques conservation. Indirectly, wildlife conservation contributes greatly fight against which further illustrates variety ecosystem services need for areas rich in diversity. Ecosystem services, like carbon water regulation, are natural processes that help mitigate impacts while adhering ecological system principles. By looking into detail one case...
Abstract Salinity and soil nutrient deficiencies are the main factors reducing plant productivity in arid semiarid areas. Among essential elements, nitrogen is usually most growth limiting saline or non-saline soils. A pot experiment was carried out greenhouse to evaluate influence of composted manure urea as sources on mineral [nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K), calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), sodium (Na)] content maize (Zea mays L.) under different levels salinity. Saline soils...
The potential of Arundo donax L. for phytoextraction cadmium (Cd) from contaminated soil and water was probed. plants were grown under greenhouse conditions in pots containing a nutrient solution or with increasing doses Cd (0, 50, 100, 250, 500, 750, 1000 μ g L −1 ) 21 days. growth physiology evaluated at the end experiment. maximum content root 300 during hydroponics experiments over 230 concentration stem 262 750 supplied 191.2 leaves 187 . Relatively low uptake occurred experiment...
The present study reports the synthesis, photocatalytic decolorization of reactive black 5 dye and phytotoxicity graphene quantum dots (GQDs) iron co-doped TiO2 photocatalysts via modified sol gel method. GQDs were synthesized by direct pyrolysis citric acid (CA). Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) energy dispersion spectroscopy (EDS), Raman spectroscopy, atomic force (AFM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), diffuse reflectance (DRS), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET)...
Salinity-fertility interaction has not been properly explored especially in saline-sodic soils.Therefore, the current study investigated response of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) to saline irrigation water salinesodic soil supplemented with potassium (K) and phosphorus (P).Wheat was grown pots filled which were irrigated either normal or water.Potassium P fertilizers applied at two levels.Results indicated that growth plants impaired by resulting a decreased grain dry matter yield.The...
The present study aimed to assess the relationship of soil properties in salt-affected soils. samples were collected from 14 districts Pakistan. Soil salinity and sodicity are common features arid semiarid regions. effects salt’s interactions with micronutrients have not been well studied. Therefore, saline non-saline different locations. microelements (Fe, Cu, Mn, Zn) fractionated into water-soluble, exchangeable, carbonate, Fe + Mn oxide, organic, residual fractions. Univariate...
Abstract The conversion of soil nitrogen (N) from its organic into inorganic forms has been the subject several investigations, but information on N mineralization in saline is scanty. study was therefore carried out to observe trends soils amended with manure and urea. electrical conductivity (ECe) 0.2 (S0), 4.1 (S1), 11.4 dSm−1 (S2). sources were applied at rate 300 kg ha−1 incubated for 8 weeks 25°C. pattern a function both salinity sources. amount NH4‐N released significantly higher S0...
This research work is focusing on the toxicities of heavy metals industrial origin to anaerobic digestion wastewater. Photobacterium phosphoreum T3S was used as an indicator organism. The acute P. were assessed during 15-min half inhibitory concentration (IC50) at pH 5.5–6. Toxicity assays involved assessment multicomponent mixtures using TU and MTI approaches. results individual toxicity indicated that Cd, Cu Pb increased with increasing concentrations there a linear correlation. IC50...
Wastes were composted and applied as the soils amendment to improve soil fertility crop productivity. The study aimed at assessing nutrient uptake growth of spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.) grown in amended with cow manure after a co-composting process. Sandy loam silt poplar leaf litter 1:0, 1:1, 1:2 1:3. compost was rate 20 t ha−1. Spinach for 8 weeks then harvested measure plant shoot biomass. samples digested contents shoots determined. Co-composted significantly improved nutrients...
ABSTRACT The influence of nitrogen (N) sources on biomass yield and nutrient uptake wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) under saline conditions was studied in a greenhouse experiment. Six different forms N {nitrate-N as Ca(NO3)2, urea-N [CO(NH2)2], ammonium-N (NH4)2SO4, nitrate-N+urea-N, nitrate-N+ammonium-N control (no fertilizer)} were factorially combined with three levels salinity to give total 18 treatments that replicated times.
