Abiotic stresses hamper plant growth and productivity. Climate change and agricultural
malpractices like excessive use of fertilizers and pesticides have aggravated the effects of …

Soil contamination by geogenic contaminants (GCs) represents an imperative
environmental problem. Various soil remediation methods have been successfully …

Cd is a non-essential metal and is hazardous for plant growth. Although Zn is regarded as
an essential element, its elevated levels are highly toxic for plants. Silicon (Si) fertilization …

Heavy metals (HMs) in soil, air, and water environments effect human health. These HMs
cannot be degraded in soil and they can only be transformed from one state to another …

Soil water status, which refers to the wetness or dryness of soils, is crucial for the productivity
of agroecosystems, as it determines nutrient cycling and uptake physically via transport …

The aim of this study was to investigate the symbiotic relationship between arbuscular
mycorrhizae (Funneliformis mosseae) and the ability of rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis) to …

Chromium (Cr) is a nonessential element for plants that is extremely toxic at high
concentrations. Zea mays L. is a species of plant that has developed adaptive mechanisms …

Cocoa (Theobroma cacao L.) is an important crop in Peru. International regulations require
products derived from cocoa to be free of heavy metals (HMs), such as cadmium. Arbuscular …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungal symbiosis contributes significantly to the ecosystem and
agriculture management. Globally, many small-and large-scale enterprises and start-ups are …

Environmental stresses are a major limiter of plant productivity. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi
(AMF) can be used to feasibly facilitate the growth of stressed plants. Supplementing soils …
