Enhancing growth and phytoremediation efficiency of cv. Mahasarakham in weathered PAH-contaminated soil through thidiazuron application.

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are phytotoxic, which can limit their phytoremediation. When the ability of plants to phytoremediation PAHs is compromised, the application of plant growth regulators can enhance the growth of the plants. This study aimed to determine the best plant growth regulator (1-naphthalene acetic acid, 6-benzyladenine, or thidiazuron) to enhance the phytoremediation ability of sweet grass ( cv.

Synergistic effects of zinc and cadmium on phytoremediation potential of Christmas moss (Vesicularia montagnei).

The hyperaccumulation potential of zinc (Zn) and cadmium (Cd) and their synergistic effects were examined in relation to Christmas moss (Vesicularia montagnei (Bél) Broth., Hypnaceae), an aquatic and terrestrial moss, dosed with Cd (Cd1 and Cd2), Zn (Zn1 and Zn2) and combined Zn and Cd (Cd1Zn1 and Cd2Zn2). Zinc promoted plant growth and development, particularly in the highest Zn and combined Zn/Cd treatments (Zn2 and Cd2Zn2).

Evaluation of Soil Streptomyces spp. for the Biological Control of Fusarium Wilt Disease and Growth Promotion in Tomato and Banana.

Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici (Fol) and Fusarium oxysporum f.

Growth and Phytoremediation Efficiency of Winged Bean in Fluorene- and Pyrene-Contaminated Soil.

Winged bean is a tropical legume that has been reported to enhance polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) biodegradation in soil. However, there is insufficient information about the susceptibility of winged bean to PAH toxicity in long term study. In this study, winged bean was planted in soil contaminated with either fluorene (124.

Removal of Anthracene and Fluoranthene by Waxy Corn, Long Bean and Okra in Lead-Contaminated Soil.

The ability of waxy corn, long bean and okra to remove two polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from soil containing 0.63 mg Pb kg(-1) dry soil was assessed. The presence of Pb did not reduce the ability of these plants to remove the PAHs from soil.

Effect of alpha-naphthalene acetic acid and thidiazuron on seedling of economic crops grown in endosulfan sulfate-spiked sand.

The effect of two plant growth regulators, alpha-naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) and thidiazuron (TDZ) on the growth of sweet corn (Zea mays), cowpea (Vigna sinensis) and cucumber (Cucurmis sativus) seedling planted in 1-100 mg kg(-1) of endosulfan sulfate spiked sand was investigated. Endosulfan sulfate had no apparent toxicity as seedlings of these crop plants grew normally in endosulfan sulfate spiked sand. Concentration of endosulfan sulfate in sand affected the response of seedling induction by NAA or TDZ.

Comparing anthracene and fluorene degradation in anthracene and fluorene-contaminated soil by single and mixed plant cultivation.

The ability of three plant species (sweet corn, cucumber, and winged bean) to remediate soil spiked with 138.9 and 95.9 mg of anthracene and fluorene per kg of dry soil, respectively, by single and double plant co-cultivation was investigated.

Phytotoxicity of heptachlor and endosulfan sulfate contaminants in soils to economic crops.

The intensive use of organochlorine in the past decades has resulted in contamination of soil worldwide. The phytotoxicity of two organochlorine pesticide, endosulfan sulfate and heptachlor, on the early growth stage of sweet corn (Zea mays), waxy corn (Zea mays) cowpea (Vigna sinensis), cucumber (Cucumis sativus) and water morning glory (Ipomoea aquatica) were studied. In the range of concentration found in Thai agricultural soil, 0.

Enhanced biodegradation of anthracene in acidic soil by inoculated Burkholderia sp. VUN10013.

The ability of Burkholderia sp. VUN10013 to degrade anthracene in microcosms of two acidic Thai soils was studied. The addition of Burkholderia sp.
