Amelioration of drought stress in wheat by using plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria and biogas slurry
Floods, Droughts and Water scarcity
Drought stress has a significant impact on cereal-based staple food production, particularly in developing countries like Pakistan. To ensure a sustainable and reliable food supply, it is essential to develop comprehensive production plans that incorporate various approaches to mitigate the effects...
Production of nanocellulose from lignocellulosic biomass and its potential applications: A review
Nanomaterials in the environment: applications and effects
Lignocellulosic biomass is a complex natural polymer primarily composed of cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin, and various other chemical components. The cellulose in the lignocellulosic biomass can depolymerize into a nano-dimension biomaterial called nanocellulose, which possesses unique features...
Effectiveness of corn stalk biochar in amending the contaminated soil attributes and enhancing the sustainable grass growth
Environmental Management and Policies
It is important to rapidly amend the hostile rural soil fertility and quality to develop green land verdure. In this research, cornstalk-derived biochar was added (sequence proportions 0, 1, 5, 10, 20, and 50 % in the mass ratio) into hostile rural soil and then the grass was grown in the pots. The...
