Air pollutants adversely affect the physiological, biochemical parameters, and productivity of the crops, but scarce and meager reports are available to know the certain impact of air pollution on crops. The aim of the present study was to assess environmental impact of air pollutants on...

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and nitro-PAHs (NPAHs) in PM_2.5 were first observed at a background site (Yuzhong site: YZ site) in the northwestern highlands of China in five seasonal campaigns. Compared with major northwestern cities, PAHs and NPAHs at the YZ site were at a lower level...

This study presents the development of a sustainable production process of environmentally benign silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) from aqueous root extract of Rhodiola imbricata (RI) and Withania somnifera (WS) for mitigating environmental pollution and investigating their potential applications in...

Organic amendments can improve soil quality which has knock-on environmental and agronomic benefits. However, the use of new and emerging organic amendments such as biochar and brown coal waste (BCW) in soil systems requires continuous holistic assessments for robust consensus building in their...

A study was conducted to compare the environmental effects of irrigated and rainfed barley in Khorramabad, Iran. The great difference between irrigated and rainfed barley was due to inputs of electricity and irrigation. More energy consumption in irrigated crops resulted in higher yield at this...

Nitrated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (Nitro-PAHs) as important organic pollutants are ubiquitous in the atmospheric environment, agricultural soils and aquatic environments to pose a severe polluting risk. However, little is known about the mechanism of Nitro-PAHs genotoxicity in plants. We...

Peel rice known Balsbos remnants Majarh are considered, one of the causes of environmental pollution in Qadisiyah province due to the large spread of this Majarh region because it is considered the agricultural environment ideal for rice so research aimed at solving environmental pollution...

Macrotunnel production systems contribute over $1 billion to California's economy, but despite increased use, guidance to help macrotunnel growers limit agricultural pollutant loads in rainfall-induced runoff is sparse. Using raspberry as a model crop, we evaluated four runoff management practices...

The current paper aimed at evaluating and optimizing the efficiency of energy use and mitigation of environmental pollution by minimizing the emissions and intensity of greenhouse gases (GHG) for farm production systems in Mashhad, Iran. The results indicated that the total values of consumed...

The effect of polymetallic stress (Mn²⁺, Cd²⁺, Cu²⁺, Ni²⁺, Zn²⁺, Pb²⁺, and Al³⁺) of different duration and intensity on the endogenous brassinosteroids (BS) content and photochemical activity of photosystem II in barley plants was studied. The content of steroid hormones was determined by a...
