Phytoremediation of chromated copper arsenate contaminated soil by maize (Zea mays L.)

This study investigated the use of maize in removing arsenic, chromium and copper from chromated copper arsenate (CCA) contaminated soil in a pot experiment. Heavy metal levels in the CCA contaminated soil analysed showed high concentration of As, Cr and Cu. Total values of (39.55mg/kg) As, (313.97mg/kg) Cr and (200.00mg/kg) Cu were obtained in the […]

Variability and diversity estimates of yield and yield contributing characters in lentil (Lens culinaris medic.)

Investigation on variability and diversity estimates of eight yield and yield contributing characters viz., plant height at first flower (PHFF), number of branches per plant at maximum flower (NBPMF), plant area per plant (PAPP), number of pods per plant (NPdPP), pod weight per plant (PdWPP), number of seeds per plant (NSPP), seed weight per plant […]
