Degradation of benzo[a]pyrene in an experimentally contaminated paddy soil by vetiver grass (Vetiveria zizanioides)

Effects of Salinity on Seedling Growth and Physiological Traits of Vetiver Grass (Vetiveria zizanioides Stapf)

Vetiver grass (Vetiveria zizanioides) is known to be survived under the diversesoil and water conditions. In order to study the effects of salinity stress on the seedlinggrowth of the desired species, a completely randomized design was conducted with 3replications. Seeds were sown in the salty-soil plots in the greenhouse. Salinity levels werespecified as 4 control ones including 20, 30 and 40 ...

Investigation on the Effects of Eco-cover on Unwanted Plant Control, Vetiver Grass (Vetiveria zizanioides) Growth and Soil Properties

Eco-cover is ecological mulch and its application is an eco-friendly and low-cost method to improve soil environment and prevention of unwanted plants. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of eco-cover on unwanted plants, Vetiver grass (Chrysopogon zizanioides) growth and soil Properties. For this purpose, two series of rectangular plot (with and without eco-cover), in three rep...

Effect of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (Glomus spp.) on growth and arsenic uptake of vetiver grass (Chrysopogon zizanioides L.) from contaminated soil and water systems

Phytoremediation technology is emerging as a promising environment-friendly method for large-scale cleanup of arsenic (As) contaminated water and soil. In this study we investigated the effect of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF Glomus spp.) on the growth of the vetiver grass (Chrysopogon zizanioides L.) and its As uptake from contaminated hydroponic and soil systems. An ameliorative effect of...
