A field experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of bean stalk (BBC) and rice straw (RBC) biochars on the bioavailability of metal(loid)s in soil and their accumulation into rice plants. Phytoavailability of Cd was most dramatically influenced by biochars addition. Both biochars significantly decreased Cd concentrations in iron plaque (35-81 %), roots (30-75 %), shoots (43-79 %) and r...

Abstract Background This commentary presents several thoughts elicited by the observation of Lambers et al. (Plant Soil, 2021) in this Special Issue that release carboxylates roots increases manganese (Mn) uptake plants. Manganese is a plant nutrient, but toxic excess. Root cells take up Mn from rhizosphere solution through non-specific transporters, whose activities are regulated elements othe...

Chloride (Cl-) has been related to increased phytoavailability of cadmium (Cd) in soil. A glasshouse experiment using a historically contaminated soil was undertaken to evaluate the effect of chloride on Cd uptake by salt-tolerant plants and possibly quantify the uptake of discrete Cd species (e.g. Cd2+, CdCl+, CdCl(0)2). Chloride treatments were applied as 100 mM NaCl and compared with equival...

abstract uranium is a radioactive heavy metal. development of nuclear industries and application of phosphate fertilizers contain uranium impurity resulted in soil contamination with uranium. a pot experiment had been conducted under controlled condition. the experiment carried out in completely randomized design with two factors, including two plants (soybean and sunflower) and six levels of u...

objective: returning crop residue to the soil exerts favorable effects on physical and chemical properties of soil. in fact, the plant residues can affect soil conditions such as ph and important role in soil fertility and cycling of elements in the soil may have. in addition to the role of the organic matter from decomposition of crop residue in increasing the concentration of micronutrients i...

Tomato (Solanum Lycopersicum L.) belong to family solanaceae is one of the largest vegetable crop. A Field experiment was conducted at Mother Teresa College Agriculture study effects different seed extraction methods on quality parameters in Tomato. The taken make treatments (i.e,) T1-Manual Extraction, T2--HCl@10ml for 15mins, T3-HCl@10ml 30mins, T4--Fermentation 24hrs (1day), T5-Fermentation ...

soil and sediments of the estuaries and wetlands in northwest of persian gulf are recently polluted with different heavy metals because of municipal and industrial wastewaters. therefore an urgent soil cleaning up and remediation program is vital in this region. consequently, this study was initiated to screen two plant species (festuca arundinacea and cynodon dactylon) for hyperaccumulation of...
