Heavy metal pollution from industrial wastewaters has become an issue of global concern. These are frequently used for inland irrigation which possess a serious risk heavy contamination both soil and cultivated crops. The problem is more common in developing countries like India where often discharged without appropriate treatments. Therefore, this study aimed at assessing the impact paper mill effluent on growth, productivity, accumulation potential two rice (Oryza sativa L.) varieties...
This study was conducted to assess the pollutant uptake capability of water lettuce (Pistia stratiotes L.) in terms bioaccumulation, enrichment, and translocation heavy metals grown sugar mill effluent. Results showed that maximum fresh weight (328.48 ± 2.04 gm kg-1), total chlorophyll content (2.13 2.03 mg g-1 fwt), relative growth rate, RGR (11.89 gg-1 d-1) P. were observed at 75% concentration effluent after 60 days phytoremediation experiment. The bioaccumulation factor (BF) different...
Integrated industrial effluent (IIE) released from SIIDCUL causes serious environmental problems in the vicinity of Haridwar, India. Therefore, this study investigated potential water fern (Azolla pinnata R.Br.) for phyto-treatment IIE. Laboratory experiments with six IIE concentrations (0 as control bore well water, 20, 40, 60, 80 and 100%) were performed bio-removal selected physicochemical, microbiological heavy metal parameters pot type experiments. The overall results described maximum...
Abstract The present study describes the phytoremediation performance of water lettuce ( Pistia stratiotes L.) for physicochemical pollutants elimination from paper mill effluent (PME). For this, pot (glass aquarium) experiments were conducted using 0% (BWW: borewell water), 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% treatments PME under natural day/light regime. Results showed that highest removal pH (10.75%), electrical conductivity (EC: 63.82%), total dissolved solids (TDS: 71.20%) biological oxygen demand...
The spatial assessment of four heavy metals (Cd, Cr, Pb, and As) in two mango fruit (Mangifera indica L.) varieties (Dasheri Langra) collected from the Saharanpur district, Uttar Pradesh, India, was investigated this study. samples ripe fruits were orchards 12 major towns district May to June 2022. Heavy metal analysis using atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) showed presence all selected metals. Specifically, concentration (mg/kg dry weight basis) range Cd (0.01–0.08), Cr (0.11–0.82), Pb...
The present study was carried out to probe the agronomic response of hybrid cultivar okra (Hibiscus esculentus L. var. JK 7315) grown in secondary treated municipal wastewater irrigated soil with field investigations. concentrations viz., 10%, 20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, and 100% along control (groundwater) were used for irrigation H. esculentus. revealed that showed significant (p < 0.05/p 0.01) effect on parameters after fertigation comparison groundwater both seasons. maximum performance recorded...
Laboratory experiments were carried out to assess the phytoremediation potential of water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes [Mart.] Solms) for removal different parameters paper mill effluent. The maximum efficiency E. and phytokinetic rate recorded at 50% concentration effluent followed by 60 days experiments. most percent reduction was observed in contents electrical conductivity (EC; 62.23%), total dissolved solid (TDS; 72.54%), biochemical oxygen demand (BOD; 79.93%), chemical (COD;...
Salinity-induced soil degradation poses a significant challenge to agricultural productivity and requires innovative crop-management strategies. In this study, the synergistic effect of biochar TiO2 nanoparticles (NPs) obtained from moss (Leucobryum glaucum (Hedw.) Ångstr.) biomass on growth, yield, biochemical, enzymatic response Chinese spinach (Amaranthus dubius L.) grown under salinity stress was investigated. Purposely, A. different combinations arable soil, biochar, NPs, saline soils....
The present experiment aimed to examine the impact of nano urea (NU) and plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) on Reshmi amaranth (Amaranthus tricolor) growth under salt stress. Experiments were conducted using six different combinations NaCl, NU, PGPR for 35 days greenhouse conditions. results showed that salinity stress significantly (p < 0.05) reduced parameters, including shoot height, root length, fresh weight, leaf area. However, application NU PGPR, both individually in...
