Continuous application of phosphate (P) mineral to soil renders apatite addition during each crop growing season which is great concern from a sustainable agriculture viewpoint. Use efficient solubilizing microbes (PSB) one the most effective ways solubilize this in soil. The current study targeted hydroxyapatite mines explore, isolate and characterize P solubilizers Efficiency isolated rock (h...

Abstract Background Root-knot nematodes ( Meloidogyne spp.) are the most destructive agricultural pests, which parasitize thousands of different plant species in world. Using antagonistic bacteria can be a potential alternative to hazardous chemical nematicides. This study was conducted evaluate biocontrol activities isolated from vermicompost and earthworm against M. javanica infected tomato p...

Nickel (Ni) is a heavy metal and soil pollutant but existence of small amount of it as a metallic part of urease enzyme in the plants is necessary. Remediation of spots contaminated with heavy metals is particularly challenging. Phytoremediation, the use of plants for environmental restoration, is a novel clean up technology. In this study, five levels of nickel [control (Ni0), Ni125, Ni250, Ni...
