  • Enhanced phytoremediation is a quick and environmentally friendly method to clean agricultural soil polluted with copper and cadmium, which threaten food security.
  • The study compared the effectiveness of two additives, IAA and EDTA, in improving the phytoremediation of contaminated soils using sunflower and maize under controlled conditions.
  • Results showed that while both additives improved the plants' ability to accumulate metals and increased biomass, IAA was more effective than EDTA, particularly in maize, leading to significant increases in metal accumulation and plant growth.

Honeybees rely exclusively on pollen and nectar-producing plants for strengthening their colonies and manufacturing honey. Little is known about the indigenous melliferous flora of arid zones of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK) which is crucial for honey production and how different pollen assessment techniques effect the identification of indigenous melliferous pollen flora. Visual survey and loads ensnaring through pollen traps were used to identify the botanical profile of melliferous pollen flora of Dera Ismail Khan (DIKhan), Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
