SEED PRIMING OF FENUGREEK SEEDS WITH SILICA NANOPARTICLES: ENHANCED GROWTH ECONOMICS AND SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURAL PRACTICES

by MN N.b. seppiraj N. Madheswaran N.

Circular Economy and Bioeconomy

Background: This study aimed to evaluate the impact of various concentrations of nano-silica on the germination process of fenugreek seeds. The agro-waste materials such as rice husk, corn cobs and bagasse were used as a precursor for synthesizing nano-silica. Moreover, their formation was confirmed...

R. Mafaz Ahamed et al. View all

Issue 1

Water and wastewater treatment and reuse

The greener approach offers a viable, sustainable and eco-friendly way to synthesize nanoparticles. This study used the seed extract of Vigna stipulacea (VS) as a bioreducing agent to synthesize iron nanoparticles (VS-Fe). The VS seed extract contains polyphenols and lignin content that acted as a...

Evaluation of dissipation mechanisms for pyrene by maize (Zea Mays L.) in cadmium co-contaminated soil

by

Zhang H., Dang Z., Yi X.Y., Yang C., Zheng L.C. and Lu G.N.

Issue 4

General

Sites co-contaminated with organic and metal pollutants are common and considered to be a more complex problem, as the two components often have a synergistic effect on cytotoxicity. This study investigated the dissipation mechnisms for pyrene in cadmium co-contaminated soil in which maize (ZEA MAYS...
