Application of Local Species for Sustainable Phytoremediation
Phytoremediation is green technology based on the application of plants to remediate contaminated media. This paper reviews five species of local plants used for phytoremediation in Thailand: Pteris vittata L., Pityrogramma calomelanos L., Chrysopogon ...

Abstract Crop yield decline, primarily caused by soil erosion, is a major challenge in rain‐fed agriculture. Massive soil and water conservation (SWC) practices are conducted each year in the country of Ethiopia, including the study sites, to tackle the problems, but there is not enough information about the impacts those practices on crop yields in ...

Phytoassessment of Vetiver grass enhanced with EDTA soil amendment grown in single and mixed heavy metal–contaminated soil [PDF]
Over the years, ethylene-diamine-tetra-acetate (EDTA) has been widely used for many purposes. However, there are inadequate phytoassessment studies conducted using EDTA in Vetiver grass. Hence, this study evaluates the phytoassessment (growth performance,

Uptake and transformation of ciprofloxacin by vetiver grass (Chrysopogon zizanioides)
Abstract Ciprofloxacin (CIP) is a synthetically produced and widely prescribed antibiotic. Due to incomplete metabolism and gut absorption, a significant portion of the consumed CIP is excreted and released into the environment through wastewater. Vetiver grass has been reported to tolerate many organic and inorganic pollutants.

Application of MICP in ameliorating erosion resistance of soil on reservoir banks
Abstract Regulating reservoirs with clay slopes are prone to severe erosion caused by wind‐wave actions and water‐level fluctuations. Conventional bank protection methods often rely on rigid structures, which can adversely affect ecosystems. This study explores the use of microbially induced carbonate precipitation (MICP) for soil stabilization to ...

Comparitive Study on Essential Oil in Natural and In vitro Regenerated Plants of Vetiveria zizanioides (Linn.) Nash [PDF]
In vitro studies with rhizome explants of Vetiveria zizanioides obtained through organogenetic pathway was focused on the difference in essential oil content with that of control plants. There was variation exhibited by In vitro regenerated
