Alimurgic species are edible wild plants growing spontaneously as invasive weeds in natural grassland and farmed fields. Growing interest in biodiversity conservation projects suggests deeper study of the multifunctional roles they can play in metal uptake for phytoremediation and their food safety when cultivated in polluted land. In this study, the responses of the tap-rooted perennial specie...

The south of the Non-Chernozem Region is north-ern boundary sugar beet production in Russian Fed-eration. An important factor restraining growth crop productivity high weed infestation crops. To devel-op an effective system protection against weeds, it necessary to study their species composition order determine most occurring and noxious species. available data geobotanical surveys since 1930s...

Perennial weeds, including Cirsium arvense and Sonchus arvensis, are a common problem in crop fields, especially in agricultural systems with reduced herbicide usage. Herbicides recommended for control of these perennials generally are restricted to only a few active ingredients that tend to have low selectivity, especially on dicot crops. Microbial phytotoxins or their synthetic analogues may ...

Present investigation was aimed to isolate and characterize plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (Rhizobia) from rhizosphere (EC: 2300 μS/cm; pH: 8.6) of four halophytes: Sonchus arvensis L., (sow thistle), Solanum surratense Burm. F., (yellow berried night shade), Lactuca dissecta D. Don., (wild lettuce) and Chrysopogon aucheri (Boiss.) Stapf (golden beared grass) collected from Khewra Salt Ra...
