Abstract:

A pot experiment was conducted during 2018-19 in a net house at the Department of Soil Science, Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Dhaka, to determine fertilizer's effect on the growth and yield of Boro and T. Aman rice in the soils of industrially polluted agricultural land areas of Madhupur Tract. The study consisted of two factors, i.e., polluted soil viz., S1: Non-polluted soil, S2: polluted soil-1, S3: polluted soil-2, S4: polluted soil-3, and four fertilizer treatments viz., T0: Control, T1: N150P30K60S20Zn3.0 (100%RDCF), T2: N105P21K42S14Zn2.1 (70%RDCF) T3: N75P15K30S10Zn1.5(50%RDCF

Abstract:

Nowadays, heavy metal pollution in soil caused by human production activities is increasingly serious. The heavy metal ions in soil inhibit plant growth and endanger human health as they can disrupt the physicochemical properties of soil. However, the elimination of heavy metals in soil is so difficult that more and more researchers are studying effective soil conditioners. The negatively charged groups in microbial communities can bind with heavy metal ions in the soil to remove them. In this paper, Cr- and Cd-polluted soils were used to simulate heavy-metal-polluted soil, and microbial compo

Abstract:

In the present study, an agricultural soil artificially amended with different concentrations of palm oil mill effluent was analysed to determine its impact on the soil microflora and other properties such as pH, organic matter, electrical conductivity, and mineral elements. In the polluted soils, the total heterotrophic bacteria, total heterotrophic fungi and total heterotrophic actinomycetes decreased significantly (p≤0.5) with increase in the concentration of the pollutant. The total heterotrophic bacteria and total heterotrophic fungi showed significant reduction (p≤0.5) with increase in t

Abstract:

The effectiveness of ozonation as a method for the in situ remediation of non-aqueous phase liquid (NAPL)-polluted soils is examined. Soils were polluted artificially with a model NAPL consisting of equal mass fractions of n-decane, n-dodecane and n-hexadecane at two concentrations 1g/kg-soil, and 10g/kg-soil. The polluted soils were placed inside a stainless steel column and treated with the injection of ozone-rich gas, produced from oxygen by a corona discharge ozone generator, controlled by a gas mass flow controller, and monitored by an ozone analyzer.

Abstract:

Soil polluted by crude oil is detrimental to the survival of plants and microbes. Plantain (Musa paradisiaca L.) is a major important food crop, showing tolerance to abiotic and biotic stress. This study investigated the impact of soil polluted with Bonny Light crude oil (BLCO) on the reproductive growth of two plantain cultivars. Crude oil was added to agricultural soil on which plantain suckers were planted. Reproductive growth was then periodically assessed. The number of suckers was significantly higher in French plantain plants grown on polluted soil in comparison with control. False Horn

Soil is the main component in the agroecosystem besides water, microbial communities, and cultivated plants. Several problems face soil, including soil pollution, erosion, salinization, and degradation on a global level. Many approaches have been applied to overcome these issues, such as phyto-, bio-, and nanoremediation through different soil management tools. Mushrooms can play a vital role in the soil through bio-nanoremediation, especially under the biological synthesis of nanoparticles, which could be used in the bioremediation process.
