Morera, M. T., Echeverría, J. C. and Garrido, J. J. 2001. Mobility of heavy metals in soils amended with sewage sludge. Can. J. Soil Sci. 81: 405–414. Sewage sludges added to arable land can improve soil fertility and physical properties. However, the concentrations of heavy metals commonly found in sludges limits their application to soil. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the mobility ...

Environmental pollution with heavy metals is a global disaster that is related tohuman activities. This study was conducted to determine the extent of heavy metalsaccumulation by plant species in Lia industrial city (Qazvin, Iran) and to investigate theremediative capacity of native plant species grown in the contaminated soils. Soil andindustrial wastewater sampling was done radially along tra...

The general incidence of copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), and boron (B) deficiencies in soils the Canadian prairies may be related to identifiable, highly variable, inherent soil attributes. objective this study was investigate variability selected properties their relationship with bioavailability, forms, distribution Cu, Zn, B a range prairie soils. nature these micronutrient distributions were evalua...

We investigated the effect of organic matter and weathering on the lability and solid phase speciation of heavy metals (Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb, Zn) in two contrasting subalpine regions in the Italian Alps. Cr, Ni and Cu could be linked to weathering. This was not the case for Pb. Since organic matter (OM) influences the solid phase speciation of heavy metals, the total organic C and N content, the ...

A pot experiment was conducted during 2019 under rain protected condition at Assam Agricultural University, Jorhat to know the effect of two different levels soil iron (Fe) content on Fe rice tissues including grain (brown rice). Soils initial DTPA extractable 159.40±0.51 mg/kg applied with 50 ppm Ferrous sulfate solution increase 182.35±0.57 mg/kg. Two popular varieties, Ranjit and Mahsuri, on...

Background: Himachal Pradesh (India) lying in North West Himalayas were studied for their morphological, physical and chemical properties. Pradesh, is a mountainous region spread over an area of 55,673 km² with elevation ranging from 350 to 6,500 meters above mean sea level noticeably increased west east south north. For agricultural planning, development the sustainable use natural resources. ...

Ricinus communis L. shows certain tolerance to and good accumulation ability with heavy metals. Endophytic bacteria−enhanced phytoremediation is an effective method improve metal extraction efficiency. Here, for better application of castor in phytoremediation, the Illumina high−throughput sequencing was carried out reveal endophytic bacterial community tissues grown two locations, traditional ...

This study evaluated the impact of aged ZnO NPs on soil-plant systems compared to bulk and ZnSO4. Green pea beetroot were grown under greenhouse conditions in two agricultural soils which 20 mg Zn kg−1 225 had been applied 1 year before a previous crop. At high dose, differences soil extractable (CaCl2 diethylene triaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA)) observed between sources. Both applications ZnSO4...

The increasing mass of organic waste as well the assumptions a circular economy enforce rational management this type waste. One method recycling is composting, which makes it possible to use efficiently an fertilizer. This paper presents results comparative study six different composts in terms their agricultural quality. aim was evaluate bioavailable amounts metals using single extractions wi...
