Deciphering the enhanced translocation of Pb, Ni and Cd from artificially polluted soil to augmented with VITMSJ3.

Unlabelled: The translocation of heavy metals (HMs) from the rhizosphere to plant systems constitutes a fundamental mechanism governing HM uptake. Microbial augmentation has emerged as a promising strategy to enhance this process. The study investigates the mechanism of enhanced translocation of heavy metals (HMs) from artificially polluted soil to , facilitated by VITMSJ3.

Exploring short- and long-term meteorological drought parameters in the Vaippar Basin of Southern India.

Evaluating drought parameters at the basin level is one of the fundamental processes for planning sustainable crop production. This study aimed to evaluate both short-term and long-term meteorological drought parameters within the Vaippar Basin, located in southern India, by employing the standardized precipitation index (SPI). Gridded rainfall values developed from 13 rain gauge stations were employed to calculate the SPI values.

Toxicity assessment of lead, nickel and cadmium on zebra fish augmented with Bacillus xiamenensis VITMSJ3: An insight on the defense mechanism against oxidative stress due to heavy metals.

Increased urbanization in recent years has let to discharge of heavy metals into the environment which has caused severe impacts on soil as well as water. Therefore the current study was aimed to assess the toxicity of lead (Pb), nickel (Ni), and cadmium (Cd) from the contaminated water using zebra fish Danio rerio and detoxification of metals upon augmentation with Bacillus xiamenensis. Exposure doses till 150 mg L of Pb, Ni and Cd in water showed lethal effects on fish.

A new paradigm in the bioremoval of lead, nickel, and cadmium using a cocktail of biosystems: a metagenomic approach.

Lead (Pb), nickel (Ni), and cadmium (Cd) are known for its harmful effects on the environment. Microbial community related to soil plays a pivotal role in configuring several properties of the ecosystem. Thus, remediation of such heavy metals using multiple biosystems had shown excellent bioremoval potential.

Evaluation of OptRx™ active optical sensor to monitor soybean response to nitrogen inputs.

Background: Active optical crop sensors have been gaining importance to determine in-season nitrogen (N) fertilization requirements for on-the-go variable rate applications. Although most of these active in-field crop sensors have been evaluated in maize (Zea mays L.) and wheat (Triticum aestivum L.
