It is important to use renewable resources to maximize crop yields and minimize the environmental hazards associated with chemical residues. Composting is an age old practice for the biological conversion of organic waste to a humus-like substance which can enhance physical, chemical and biological soil properties. To explore the effect of microorganisms in the composting process, three potent ...

The bacterial community of rhizosphere soil maintains properties, regulates the microbiome, improves productivity, and sustains agriculture. However, structure function communities have been interrupted or destroyed by unreasonable agricultural practices, especially excessive use chemical fertilizers. Microbial inoculants, regarded as harmless, effective, environmentally friendly amendments, ar...

Abstract. The induction of biocrusts through inoculation-based techniques has gained increasing scientific attention in the last 2 decades due to its potential address issues related soil degradation and desertification. technology shown most rapid advances use biocrust organisms, particularly cyanobacteria mosses, as inoculants initiators. Cyanobacteria mosses are poikilohydric organisms – i.e...

The current work focuses on the manufacturing of aluminium AA 6061 composites and its tribological characterization. This is achieved by reinforcing matrix with red mud. However, uniform dispersion mud requires ultrasonic assisted stir casting use optimum wt.% TiO 2 inoculants. In this regard, composition fixed at wt.%, since addition beyond results in agglomeration, while inoculants varied fro...

In this study effect of irrigation managements including irrigation after 100 and 200 mm pan evaporation as normal and deficit irrigation respectively was investigated in Roselle plants. Effects of humic acid (including 0 and 4 kg ha-1) and mycorrhizal inoculants (including Glomus versiforme (GV) and Rhizophagus irregularis (RI)) were also studied on growth, yield and mycorrhizal symbiosis inde...

Tributyltin (TBT) is one of the most toxic anthropogenic compounds introduced into the marine environment. Despite its global ban in 2008, TBT is still a problem of great concern due to its high affinity for particulate matter, providing a direct and potentially persistent route of entry into benthic sediments. Bioremediation strategies may constitute an alternative approach to conventional phy...
