One of the most important anthropogenic pollution types in countries with oil production is soil and water contamination by petroleum. Phytoremediation is an emerging green technology for cleaning up polluted soil. A greenhouse experiment was conducted to study the effect of oil-contaminated soil on Echinacea purpurea with four concentrations of crude oil - contaminated soil: control = 0, 0.5% ...

the drastic decline of precipitation over the past decade along with overuse of chemical inputs and consequent soil fertility reduction are the most important problems in the approach to agricultural expansion, particularly in urban landscaping. therefore, an experiment was designed to examine the effects of different irrigation levels (40, 70 and 100 % of field capacity, or fc) and different v...

compound of 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ala) has herbicide behavior in high concentration. while, it acts as growth regulator at low concentrations and causes resistance to various stresses incluing cold and salibity. therefore the exogenous application of 5-aminolevulinic acid was investigated to induce cold stress tolerance in young soybean plants (glycine max l.). the experiment was conducted a...

Gymnacranthera canarica (King.) Warb. is an endemic tree species that dominates the Myristica swamp ecosystem of southern Western Ghats. This tropical has become more threatened due to limited natural seed germination and habitat loss. Mature seeds were collected from myristica subjected desiccation study. research evaluated physiological (moisture content, tetrazolium reduction, lipid peroxida...
