Agronomic biofortification of staple food with zinc (Zn) in combination with diazotrophic bacteria is one sustainable and feasible strategy to improve plant nutrition, nutrient use efficiency and production and combat Zn ...

The aim of this work was to assess the uptake efficiencies, the uptake and bioaccumulation kinetics and the toxic effects of Cr, Ni and Zn on Eichhornia crassipes. Plants were exposed to 1mg L−1 of each metal and sampled ...

A greenhouse experiment was conducted to determine if the presence of Typha domingensis affects the accumulation and speciation of high concentrations of Zn in sediments of aquatic systems. Reactors containing sediment and ...

Enrichment of staple food with zinc (Zn) along with solubilizing bacteria is a sustainable and practical approach to overcome Zn malnutrition in human beings by improving plant nutrition, nutrient use efficiency, and ...

The fragmentary information on phosphorus (P) x zinc (Zn) interactions in plants warrants further study, particularly in plants known for their high P and Zn requirements, such as cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.). The objective ...

The concentrations of Hg, Cu, Pb, Cd, and Zn accumulated by regional macrophytes were investigated in three tropical wetlands in Colombia. The studied wetlands presented different degrees of metal contamination. Cu and Zn ...

Foliar-applied silicon may reduce the damage caused by zinc (Zn) deficiency in plants. While adding silicon (Si) and Zn to the solution may increase foliar fertilization efficiency, Si effects on sorghum plants are not ...

This study evaluated the antifungal effect of ZnO nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs) on Fusarium proliferatum growth and fumonisin accumulation both on a maize-based medium (in vitro) and on irradiated maize grains (in situ). The ...
