S-Fertilizer (Elemental Sulfur) Improves the Phytoextraction of Cadmium through L.

Soil contamination with toxic heavy metals [such as cadmium (Cd)] is becoming a serious global problem due to the rapid development of the social economy. This study was carried out to assess the beneficial role of two different kinds of (S)-fertilizer in the phytoremediation of Cd contaminated soil through L. Gypsum (Gyp) and Elemental sulfur (ES) was applied alone and in combination with different ratios (0, 100:0, 0:100, 50:50 mg kg) accompanied by different Cd levels (0, 25, 50 mg kg).

Phosphorus Fertilizers Enhance the Phytoextraction of Cadmium through L.

Cadmium (Cd) toxicity strongly influences plants growth and seed germination in crop plants. This pot trial had aimed evaluate the benefits of two different kinds of phosphorus (P)-fertilizer in the phytoremediation of Cd by L. The current pot experiment was conducted to evaluate the role of P-fertilizers in phytoremediation of Cd by L.

Zinc fortification and alleviation of cadmium stress by application of lysine chelated zinc on different varieties of wheat and rice in cadmium stressed soil.

Sustainable and cost-effective methods are required to increase the food production and decrease the toxic effects of heavy metals. Most of the agriculture land is contaminated with cadmium (Cd). The present study was designed to minimize the toxic effect of Cd stress (0, 10 and 20 mg kg) on tolerant and sensitive varieties of wheat (Punjab-2011; Sammar) and rice (Kisan Basmati; Chenab) under Zn-lysine (Zn-lys) application as foliar spray (0, 12.

N-Fertilizer (Urea) Enhances the Phytoextraction of Cadmium through L.

Heavy metal contamination is currently a major environmental concern, as most agricultural land is being polluted from municipal discharge. Among various other pollutants, cadmium (Cd), one of the most harmful heavy metals, enters into the food chain through the irrigation of crops with an industrial effluent. In the present study, a pot experiment was designed to assess the effect of different nitrogen (N)-fertilizer forms in the phytoremediation of Cd through L.

A critical review on the effects of zinc at toxic levels of cadmium in plants.

Increasing cadmium (Cd) pollution in agricultural soils has raised serious concerns worldwide. Several exogenous substances can be used to mitigate the toxic effects of Cd in plants. Zinc (Zn) is one of the essential plant micronutrients and is involved in several physiological functions in plants.

Effect of foliar-applied iron complexed with lysine on growth and cadmium (Cd) uptake in rice under Cd stress.

Contamination of soils with cadmium (Cd) is a serious problem worldwide. Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is reported to accumulate relatively higher Cd contents in consumable parts and is considered a main source of Cd toxicity to humans from rice-derived products.

Cadmium phytoremediation potential of Brassica crop species: A review.

Cadmium (Cd) is a highly toxic metal released into the environment through anthropogenic activities. Phytoremediation is a green technology used for the stabilization or remediation of Cd-contaminated soils. Brassica crop species can produce high biomass under a range of climatic and growing conditions, allowing for considerable uptake and accumulation of Cd, depending on species.

Management of tannery wastewater for improving growth attributes and reducing chromium uptake in spinach through citric acid application.

The use of chromium (Cr)-contaminated tannery wastewater for irrigation is a common practice, especially in developing countries like Pakistan. This practice is due to the shortage of good quality irrigation water for crop growth as well as the issue of tannery wastewater disposal. The current study was done to evaluate the effect of citric acid (CA) (0, 1.
