the pollution of soil by heavy metals is considered to be quite a big problem in many areas ofthe world. to limit the accumulation of lead and cadmium from soil in the products, a correct understanding ofthe characteristics and specifications of the translocation of cadmium and lead is necessary. in order to evaluatethe effects of cadmium and lead interaction on zinc and manganese concentration...

The aim of the study was to estimate the influence of soil pH on the uptake of copper, zinc, and manganese by Valeriana officinalis. Preliminary studies involved soil analyses to determine acidity, organic matter content, and copper, zinc, and manganese total and bioavailable forms. The study involved atomic absorption spectrometry to determine the concentration of the elements, and mineral soi...

pollution of agricultural lands is a widespread problem in mine regions. the transport of the pollutants through the food chain, causes their accumulation s in tissues of plants and animals which endangers their health. this study aimed to measure the concentrations of heavy metals (lead, copper, zinc and manganese) in wheat roots of darreh zaresh villages which might be used for future environ...

The impact of different concentration of zinc (Zn) and boron (B) on growth and mineral composition of lemon seedlings (Citrus Aurantifolia L.) was studied under greenhouse conditions. We used five concentration levels of B (0, 2.5, 5, 10 and 20 μg g-1 soil) and three of Zn (0, 5 and 10 μg g-1 soil). Fresh and dry plant weights of the control treatment were strongly decreased with B levels highe...

introduction: vermicompost is one of the important bio-fertilizer which is the product of the process of composting different organic wastes such as manures and crop residues using different earthworms. vermicomposts, especially those are derived from animal wastes,contain the large amounts of nutrients compaired with the composts prepared from crop residues. vermicomposts contain plant availab...
