Analysis of soil eDNA functional genes: potential to increase profitability and sustainability of pastoral agriculture
(2016)Management of soil biological resources to optimise plant production, efficiency of nutrient inputs, and system sustainability is an emerging opportunity for pastoral agriculture. To achieve these goals, suitable tools ... -
Assessment of trace element pollution in northern and western Iranian agricultural soils: a review
(2021)The pollution of Iranian agricultural soils with trace elements (Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb, and Zn) was assessed and compared with other agricultural soils around the world. Experimental data on trace element content ... -
Bioaugmentation of animal feces as a mean to mitigate environmental contamination with anthelmintic benzimidazoles
(2021)Anthelmintics are used to control infestations of ruminants by gastrointestinal nematodes. The limited metabolism of anthelmintics in animals result in their excretion in feces. These could be piled up in the floor of ... -
Blame it on the metabolite: 3,5-dichloroaniline rather than the parent compound is responsible for the decreasing diversity and function of soil microorganisms
(2018)Pesticides are key stressors of soil microorganisms with reciprocal effects on ecosystem functioning. These effects have been mainly attributed to the parent compounds, while the impact of their transformation products ... -
Environmental geochemical research for the levels and the sources of toxic metals in the agricultural soils of dimitraeleftherion and platycampos region, Thessaly, Greece
(2007)The contents of eleven elements (Cu, Pb, Zn, Ni, Co, Mn, Fe, As, V, Cr and Mg) have been assayed in the agricultural soils of Dimitra-Eleftherion and Platycampos region (Thessaly, Greece). One hundred twenty two top soil ... -
Following the route of veterinary antibiotics tiamulin and tilmicosin from livestock farms to agricultural soils
(2022)Veterinary antibiotics (VAs) are not completely metabolized in the animal body. Hence, when animal excretes are used as soil manures, VA residues are dispersed with potential implications for environmental quality and human ... -
Isolation and characterization of soil bacteria able to rapidly degrade the organophosphorus nematicide fosthiazate
(2019)Foshtiazate is an organophosphorus nematicide commonly used in protected crops and potato plantations. It is toxic to mammals, birds and honeybees, it is persistent in certain soils and can be transported to water resources. ... -
Nicosulfuron application in agricultural soils drives the selection towards NS-tolerant microorganisms harboring various levels of sensitivity to nicosulfuron
(2016)The action mode of sulfonylurea herbicides is the inhibition of the acetohydroxyacid synthase (AHAS) required for the biosynthesis of amino acids valine and isoleucine in plants. However, this enzyme is also present in a ... -
Pesticide effects on nitrogen cycle related microbial functions and community composition
(2022)The extensive application of pesticides in agriculture raises concerns about their potential negative impact on soil microorganisms, being the key drivers of nutrient cycling. Most studies have investigated the effect of ... -
Root vegetables bioaccumulate microcystins-LR in a developmental stage-dependent manner under realistic exposure scenario: The case of carrot and radish
(2020)Cyanotoxins are secondary metabolites of the ubiquitous cyanobacteria and exert their toxicity to plants and humans. Human health can be impacted by cyanotoxin bioaccumulation in crops via irrigation from contaminated water ...
