A growth chamber pot experiment and a field plot experiment were conducted with the installation of rhizobags to study the effects of repeated phytoextraction by Sedum plumbizincicola on the bioavailability of Cd and Zn in the rhizosphere and bulk soil Repeated phytoextraction gave significantly lower Cd and Zn concentrations in both rhizosphere and bulk soil solutions compared with soil withou...

This study investigated the possibility of using electric-arc furnace dust (EAFD) as an acidic soil amendment. The experiments were conducted using incubation and pot experiments. In the incubation experiment, various rates of EAFD were added to an acidic soil and properties such as pH; electrical conductivity of the saturation extract (ECse); and available phosphorus (P), potassium (K), iron (...

The effects of water deficit on plant growth, physiology and dry matter accumulation in the eggplant (Solanum melongena L. cv., Teorem F1) grown in pot were studied under out door conditions. Water stress was imposed by irrigating the plants with 80%, 60% and 40% of water needed to reach pot capacity (PC) in the soil. Control plants were irrigated 100% of PC. Water deficits increased leaf tempe...

The effective use of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungal function to promote host plant phosphate uptake in agricultural practice requires the accurate quantitative evaluation of AM fungal infection potential in field soil or AM fungal inoculation material. The number of infection units (IUs), intraradical fungal structures derived from single root entries formed after a short cultivation period...

A Randomized Block Design (RBD) field experiment was conducted in Central Research Farm (CRF) at Department of Plant Pathology, SHUATS, Prayagraj, U.P. during the Rabi season 2019-2020 pots. Growth factors for a strawberry crop are affected by microalgae and vermicompost different dose on number leaves height per plant 30, 60 90 DAT under condition.
 The maximum (per plant) recorded T9 @ M...

pot marigold (calendula officinalis l.) is a medicinal and ornamental plant. the effect of different concentrations of chlormequat (cycocel), and daminozide, two plant growth retardant, on plant height, flowering, the content of essence and some other traits in pot marigold (calendula officinalis) was assessed. plant growth retardants are commonly applied to limit stem elongation and produce a ...

The ability of poultry litter to support plant growth by supplying essential plant nutrients in the absence of other sources of the nutrients has not been studied thoroughly. The objectives of this research were to (1) determine the ability of poultry litter, as the sole nutrient source, to provide macronutrients and support growth of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) (2) evaluate the distribution...

Table 1. Effect of paclobutrazol (paclo) on plant height and number of leaves developed on hollyhock at 2, 4, or 6 weeks after treatment. All application techniques were designed to deliver 0.10 mg paclo/10-cm Our objective was to determine the efficacy of a given dosage of β-[(4-chlorophenyl)methyl]-α-(1,1-dimethylethyl)-1H1,2,4-triazole-1-ethanol [paclobutrazol (paclo)] applied using differin...

Panicum maximum cv. Mombasa is a type of grass that known resistant to shade and responsive fertilization. This study aimed determine the morphology production on various levels shading organic fertilizer. The soil used in this was brown latosol. completely randomized design (CRD) with factorial pattern consisting three (0%, 36%, 72%) two dose factors fertilizer (0 g/pot 500 g/pot). parameters ...

Alfalfa, tall fescue, ryegrass, and celery, some of which were inoculated with the AM fungus Glomus intraradices, were compared for their contributions to phenanthrene (PHE), pyrene (PYR), and dibenzo(a,h)anthracene (DBA) dissipation in spiked soil. A pot experiment was conducted in which PAHs extracted from soil and plant, quantity of PAH degraders, and plant biomass were evaluated. The result...
