چکیده

Alleviating plant salt stress and remediating saline soils are of great economic interest. Beneficial microbes such as Arbuscular Mycorrhizal (AM) fungi, Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPRs), etc. are associated with many plants including trees. These beneficial microbes can cope up with salinity and help the plants to survive in such soils. In this study, diversity status of beneficial microflora from the samples collected from different salt affected areas in Tamil Nadu and Pudhucherry, South India was investigated. Total of 51 PGPR isolates (Phosphate Solubilizing Bacteria-18; Azotobacter spp.-16 and Azospirillum spp.-17) and 25 different AM fungi were made. Screened efficient PGPR isolates for plant growth hormone (IAA) production and phosphate solubilization under in vitro. Highest amount of IAA was produced by Azospirillum lipoferum (74 μg/mL) and Azotobacter chroococcum (36 μg/mL). Phosphate solubilizing bacterial isolates showed a high rate of phosphate solubilization efficiency (SE) with Bacillus megaterium indicating a SE of 140% and Bacillus subtilis, a SE of 120%, making both the isolates as strong phosphate solubilizers.

Surface ozone (Surface O3)is a secondary pollutant and there are only limited studies on ozone in South India. Studies have revealed a strong correlation between higher ozone levels and warmer days. Surface O3 along with its precursors like NO2, CO and CH4 are being measured at Kanyakumari (8.0780° N, 77.5410° E), TamilNadu, India and in this paper we present the summer time variation of ozone ...

The major decision in construction process involves the selection of suitable site with best soil conditions, as structure resides in the soil. Most problematic soils like expansive soils hardly proved to be the best engineering subgrade profile for pavement constructions. Thus, this has undeniably led to the soil improvement options accompanying the reduction in resource depletion and solid wa...
