Toxicity and Availability of Manganese in the Growth of Tropical Grasses in Contaminated Soil

Applied and Environmental Soil Science, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.
Phytoremediation is a technique with high viability due to its low cost and minimal environmental impact. However, there are a few results regarding the use of tropical grasses in the phytoremediation of manganese (Mn), and there is no clear definition of which extractor is more suitable for assessing Mn availability in soils.

AR SECO E AQUECIDO NO PROCESSO DE DORMÊNCIA E GERMINAÇÃO DE SEMENTES DE Urochloa humidicola

Colloquium Agrariae, 2014
Sulfuric acid (H2SO4) has shown effectiveness in overcoming dormancy, but its use carries effective workers and environmental risks. The objective of this work was to study the sulfuric acid treatment effectiveness, recommended by the RAS, and the use of ventilation with dry, heated air to overcome the dormancy and germination performance of six seed ...
