EFFECT OF SALINITY ON GROWTH AND LEAF YIELD OF SPIDERPLANT (Cleome Gynandra L.)
(2014)
This study was conducted to investigate the effect of salinity (NaCl) on growth and leaf yield of spiderplant. The experiment was laid out in a completely randomized design (CRD) with four replicates. Seeds of spiderplant ...
Effect of water deficit on the physiological and morphological characteristics of Mango (Mangifera indica) rootstock seedlings.
(Academic Journals, 2010)
Six month old Mango (Mangifera indica L.) rootstock seedlings were grown in 20 L plastic pots in a greenhouse at Maseno University, Kenya, to investigate the effect of water deficit on its morphological and physiological ...
Ecophysiological and genetic characteristics of three wetland plant species occurring in lake Victoria region in Kenya.
(Asian Research Publishing Network-ARPN, 2010)
This study was carried out to investigate the ecophysiological and genetic characteristics of some selected wetland plant species in Lake Victoria basin, Kenya. Seedlings of Cyperas esculentus L., Aframomum angustifolium ...
Growth and nutrient uptake among three wetland plant species occurring in Lake Victoria basin in Kenya.
(AGRICULTURE AND BIOLOGY JOURNAL OF NORTH AMERICA, 2010)
Nutrient enrichment is one of the most serious threats to wetland ecosystems. Information is
lacking, particularly concerning the response of wetland plants species in Kenya in regard to
nutrient enrichment of wetlands. ...
Enhanced soil washing process for the remediation of PBDEs/Pb/Cd-contaminated electronic waste site with carboxymethyl chitosan in a sunflower oil–water solvent system and …
(Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2015-02-01)
An innovative ex situ soil washing technology was developed to remediate polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) and heavy metals in an electronic waste site. Elevated temperature (50 °C) in combination with ultrasonication ...
Bioavailability assessment of hexachlorobenzene in soil as affected by wheat straw biochar
(Elsevier, 2012-05-30)
Biochar incorporation with soil could increase sorption of organic contaminants, thereby reducing their bioavailability. In this study, the effects of wheat straw biochar on the sorption, dissipation and bioavailability ...
Degradation capacity of a 1, 2, 4-trichlorobenzene mineralizing microbial community for traces of organochlorine pesticides
(Elsevier, 2010-07-15)
A soil-borne microbial community isolated from a contaminated site was previously shown to mineralize
1,2,4-trichlorobenzene (1,2,4-TCB) under aerobic conditions. The key degrader in this community was
identified as ...
Extracellular polymeric substances enhanced mass transfer of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in the two-liquid-phase system for biodegradation
(Springer-Verlag, 2011-05-01)
The objective was to elucidate the role of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) in biodegradation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in two-liquid-phase system (TLPs). Therefore, biodegradation of phenanthrene (PHE) ...
Improved biodegradation of 1, 2, 4-trichlorobenzene by adapted microorganisms in agricultural soil and in soil suspension cultures
(Elsevier, 2011-08-01)
Inoculating soil with an adapted microbial community is a more effective bioaugmentation approach than inoculation with pure strains in bioremediation. However, information on the potential of different inocula from sites ...
Improved biodegradation of 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene by adapted microorganisms in agricultural soil and in soil suspension cultures
(Pedosphere, 2011)
Inoculating soil with an adapted microbial community is a more effective bioaugmentation approach than inoculation with pure strains in bioremediation. However, information on the potential of different inocula from sites ...
