Management of L. in L. cultivations via Vahl. As a potential bioherbicide.

Biological control of undesirable weeds associated with crop cultivation is a sustainable approach that can reduce chemical herbicide dependence. The current study aimed to assess the bio-herbicidal potential of the donor species Vahl. on germination efficiency as well as various growth and physiological parameters of the recipient species L.

Morphoanatomical and Physiological Adaptations of L. against Allelopathic Extract of L. (Horse purslane).

Weed infestation can be harmful to crop growth and cause severe losses in yield by absorbing nutrients and releasing inhibitory secondary metabolites and thus needs to be controlled for food security. The use of synthetic herbicides is one of the most widely applied methods, but its frequent usage is a serious threat to health and the environment and develops resistance in weeds. Allelopathy is an eco-friendly bio-control method, and extracts are known to be effective against various weeds in the crop of (wheat), but their effect on the main crop (wheat) is still unknown.

Alkaline and acidic soil constraints on iron accumulation by Rice cultivars in relation to several physio-biochemical parameters.

Agricultural production is severely limited by an iron deficiency. Alkaline soils increase iron deficiency in rice crops, consequently leading to nutrient deficiencies in humans. Adding iron to rice enhances both its elemental composition and the nutritional value it offers humans through the food chain.
