Phytoremediation of landfill leachate using Pennisetum clandestinum.

Journal of environmental biology, 2005
Landfills are still the most widely used solid waste disposal method used across the world, Leachate generated from landfill areas exerts environmental risks mostly on surface and groundwater, with its high pollutant content, most notably metals, which cause an unbearable lower water quality.

Fifteen years of findings: Advancements in spring dead spot research from 2009 to 2024

Crop Science, Volume 65, Issue 1, January/February 2025.
Abstract Spring dead spot (Ophiosphaerella spp.; SDS) is one of the most detrimental diseases to warm‐season turfgrasses, particularly bermudagrass (Cynodon spp.), growing in climates where cold temperatures induce dormancy. The pathogen can infect the crowns, stolons, rhizomes, and roots of bermudagrass most of the year, but infection in the fall ...

Non‐native invasive plants in tropical dry forests: a global review of presence, impacts, and management

Restoration Ecology, Volume 33, Issue 1, January 2025.
Tropical dry forests (TDF) are among the most‐threatened terrestrial ecosystems, experiencing ongoing conversion to agricultural fields, pasture, and human settlements. Human disturbances are often precursors to invasion of ecosystems by non‐native species, but research on invasion patterns in tropical ecosystems is sparse, and there is no ...

A review of pasture yields and growth rates in Northland

New Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 67, Issue 6, Page 763-782, December 2024.
ABSTRACT Pastoral grazing is the major land use in Northland, New Zealand. This study analysed the distribution and variability of pasture dry matter (DM) yields across four distinct physiographic regions, using published and original unpublished datasets collected from 1958–2021.

Plant growth promoting rhizobacteria and their potential as bioinoculants on Pennisetum clandestinum (Poaceae)

Revista de Biología Tropical, 2019
In this study, we aimed at examining the potential to stimulate growth in Pennisetum clandestinum using four isolated bacterial strains from soils obtained from a Colombian tropical silvopastoral system. We previously identified genetically the strains and characterized two plant growth promotion activities.

Conservation status of three rare endemic Phaseolus bean (Leguminosae, Phaseoleae) species of Costa Rica

Nordic Journal of Botany, Volume 2024, Issue 12, December 2024.
We aimed at an inventory of all populations of wild Phaseolus (bean) species in Costa Rica, in relation to future plant breeding. During the field work in 2003–2018, three new and rare bean species (i.e. P. albicarminus, P. angucianae and P. hygrophilus) were found in different montane forest habitats which originally occupy a small acreage.

Development of sensory tools for green rooibos (Aspalathus linearis (Burm.f.) R.Dahlgren) and changes in quality attributes during shelf‐life storage

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 104, Issue 12, Page 7567-7579, September 2024.
Abstract BACKGROUND Green rooibos (Aspalathus linearis (Burm.f.) R.Dahlgren) herbal tea is popular due to its health‐promoting properties. Information on its characteristic sensory profile is scarce and sensory tools to define product variation are needed.
