The present study was conducted with the aim to isolate, characterize, and identify the promising zinc-solubilizing rhizobacteria found naturally in the rhizosphere of canola ( L.) plants. The study investigated the roles of these strains in nutrient acquisition and assimilation of extracellular molecules such as hormones and secondary metabolites.

The excessive accumulation of sodium chloride (NaCl) in soil can result in soil salinity, which poses a significant challenge to plant growth and crop production due to impaired water and nutrient uptake. On the other hand, hydropriming (WP) and low level of NaCl priming can improve the germination of seeds, chlorophyll contents, oil and seed yield in plants. That's why this study investigates the impact of hydro and different levels of NaCl (0.

Article Synopsis
  • The sugarcane industry uses its effluent for irrigation, but its high metal contaminants can harm soil and crops, requiring safe management strategies.
  • A study tested the effects of diluting sugarcane effluent at various concentrations (0%-100%) on the growth of 15 different canola varieties, concluding that a 60% dilution was most beneficial for Faisalabad and Punjab Canola varieties.
  • The findings showed significant improvements in several growth metrics at 60% dilution, but further research is needed to identify the best canola cultivars for even higher dilutions (80% and 60%).

The modern agricultural practices have led to improve the contaminated soils with a variety of heavy metals that have become a major environmental concern. The use of arbuscular mycorrihizal fungi (AMF) is considered a potential tool for the sustainable agriculture especially in contaminated sites. Moreover, recently, the use of AMF has become a fascinating and multidisciplinary subject for the scientists dealing with plant protection.
