Potential of phytohormone producing rhizobacteria to improve growth, SPAD value and Cd uptake of mustard under Cd stress

Soil & Environment, 2020
Heavy metal pollution due to irrigation with wastewater is the major issue for crop production around the big cities and metropolitans. Farmers grow mustard and other fodder crops in the peri-urban areas to meet the fodder requirements of animals ...

Securing of an Industrial Soil Using Turfgrass Assisted by Biostimulants and Compost Amendment

Agronomy, 2020
This work aimed to study the effects of compost (applied at two rates) and two commercial microbial biostimulants on the mobility and bioavailability of potentially toxic elements (PTEs) in an industrial soil phytostabilized by Dactylis glomerata L. or a

Phytostabilization of metals by indigenous riparian vegetation

Water SA, 2017
Given the increasing pressure of man-made activities on riparian zones, the capacity of the riparian vegetation along the Upper Olifants River, South Africa, to phytoextract and phytostabilize aluminium (Al), manganese (Mn) and iron (Fe) from the soil was investigated.

Are Grasses Really Useful for the Phytoremediation of Potentially Toxic Trace Elements? A Review

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021
The pollution of soil, water, and air by potentially toxic trace elements poses risks to environmental and human health. For this reason, many chemical, physical, and biological processes of remediation have been developed to reduce the (available) trace

Metal accumulation, growth and nutrition of Vernonia polyanthes exposed to lead nitrate and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi

Bioscience Journal, 2021
The association between plants and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) can be used to bioremediate areas contaminated by metals. The objectives of this work were to evaluate the lead (Pb2+) phytoaccumulation capacity, morpho-physiology and nutrition ...

Screening of Native Plant Species in the Artisanal Gold Mining Sites of Doko, Guinea: Perspectives for Phytoremediation

CLEAN – Soil, Air, Water, Volume 54, Issue 3, March 2026.
This study focuses on phytoremediation in a gold mining‐contaminated area in Doko, Guinea. Plant, soil, and rhizospheric soil samples were collected and subjected to physicochemical analyses to quantify heavy metal content. Biological indicators: bioconcentration factor (BCF), translocation factor (TF), and biological accumulation coefficient (BAC ...
