Upregulate Soil Health and Wheat Yield: Conversion of Organic Waste into Bio-activated Zn-Enriched Compost for Deficient Soils
Solid Waste Management
Soil zinc (Zn) deficiency is a major constraint limiting wheat productivity and nutritional quality, particularly in degraded agricultural lands. Sustainable organic waste management through composting presents an eco-friendly approach to enhancing soil health while mitigating environmental...
Isolation and characterization of cadmium-resistant bacteria and its potential in promoting tomato growth
Environmental management and policy
This study primarily focuses on the isolation and characterization of bacterial strains resistant to cadmium (Cd) and evaluates their role in promoting plant growth under varying Cd concentrations (0, 120, and 240 µg mL⁻¹). A total of 45 Cd-resistant bacterial strains were isolated from wastewater...
Bioremediation Potential of Biochar, Compost and Bacillus sp. N18 for lead Contaminated Soil and Improving Physiological and Morphological Attributes of Maize
Environmental management and policy
Heavy metals like Pb, Cd, As, and Ni are becoming major environmental pollutants affecting crop productivity. The current study focused on the integration of biochar, compost, and Pb-tolerant Bacillus sp. (N18) to mitigate the hazardous impacts of Pb and improve maize growth under normal and Pb...
Enhancing sunflower resilience: Zinc-solubilizing bacteria mitigate cadmium uptake and translocation
Environmental management and policy
Cadmium (Cd) is a highly hazardous metal known for its easy absorption and accumulation in plants, particularly in edible vegetable oils. Sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) holds global significance as an oil crop. This study aims to assess the potential of zinc-solubilizing bacterial strains in...
Optimizing Drought Resilience in Okra (Abelmoschus esculentus) Through Synergistic Actions of Drought-Tolerant Rhizobacterial Strains and Brassinosteroids Hormone Application: A Jar Trial Study
Environmental management and policy
The study addresses the critical issue of water scarcity in agriculture, which causes significant losses by disrupting plant-water connections and increasing oxidative damage to biological components. In this study, we evaluated the synergistic potential of pre-isolated and identified...
