Phytoextraction is gaining acceptance as a cost-effective and environmentally friendly phytoremediation strategy for reducing toxic metal levels from contaminated soils. Cognizant of the potential of this phytoremediation technique as an alternative to expensive engineering-based remediation technologies, experiments were conducted to evaluate the suitability of some plants as phytoextraction s...

A greenhouse study was conducted to monitor microbial community dynamics related to contaminant concentration and plant growth during the phytoremediation of pyrene. Soil microbial communities in both bulk and rhizosphere soils were assessed using a polymerase chain reaction--denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (PCR-DGGE). However, no correlation between pyrene concentration and bacterial c...

Meadows on organic soils perform an essential role as a source of fodder and biomass for energy purposes. In the case intensive meadows, it is crucial to use grass mixtures that enable obtaining high yields good quality; however, soils, species composition changes dynamically. We carried out full cultivation (ploughing) grassland restoration. The floristic meadow sward in first year (2013) was ...

Abstract We evaluated the stability of perennial legume and cereal grass species in artificial plant communities on permanent anti-erosion watercourses agroecosystems Belgorod region with active development linear soil erosion. In conditions steppe forest-steppe zones permanently grassed 2017-2019. varieties leguminous grasses: ‘Krasnoyaruzhskaya 1’ 2’ ( Medicago varia ), ‘Kazatsky’ Trifolium p...

Successful weed control before seeding is necessary for proper turfgrass establishment. However, herbicide labels differ in the time required between application and seeding. The objective of this research was to determine influence four postemergence broadleaf combination herbicides on tall fescue ( Festuca arundinacea ) cover, normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), canopy height when ...
