Cow manure and cow manure-derived biochar application as a soil amendment for reducing cadmium availability and accumulation by Brassica chinensis L. in acidic red soil

, 2017
Organic amendment is a promising, in situ phytostabilization approach to alleviate the phytotoxic effects of heavy metal contaminated soils. The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of cow manure (CM) and its derived biochar (CMB) as a soil ...

Perennial Legumes Pueraria phaseoloides and Leucaena leucocephala Exhibit High Potential for Fertility Restoration of Degraded Mined Soils in Ghana

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
Revegetating the subsoil layer of abandoned gold mined sites with the perennial legumes Leucaena Leucocephala, Pueraria phaseoloides and Gliricidia sepium without any soil amendments increases the content of soil organic carbon and important macro‐nutrients, which are crucial for restoring soil health and productivity. These improvements in soil health

Sewage Sludge and Cashew Bagasse Biochars Promote Changes in Selected Physical Attributes Related to the Structure of Degraded Dryland Soil

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
This study evaluated biochars from co‐pyrolysis of sewage sludge and cashew residues on physical quality of a degraded loamy sand soil. SPB applied at 20 Mg ha−1 reduced bulk density by 7.74%, whereas most porosity attributes were driven by soil reconsolidation rather than biochar. Aggregate stability varied with biochar type, with SPB promoting larger

Biomass Carbon in Harvest Residues of Winter Oilseed Rape Across Fertilizer N Rates: Implications for Carbon Input Estimations in Soil Carbon Models

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background: Reliable estimation of carbon (C) inputs from above‐ and belowground residues at different yield levels is crucial, as these inputs drive soil organic carbon (SOC) models for C accounting. Aims: This study quantifies C inputs from different components of winter oilseed rape (WOSR) and compares them with estimates from various ...

Making green easy: providing ward‐based education and resources to optimise pharmaceutical waste management

Journal of Pharmacy Practice and Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Medicines are the most common healthcare intervention. However, disposal of pharmaceutical waste in health facilities contributes significantly to financial costs and carbon emissions, and incorrect disposal can lead to environmental contamination.

Phytoassessment of Vetiver grass enhanced with EDTA soil amendment grown in single and mixed heavy metal–contaminated soil [PDF]

, 2019
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,
