Arsenic uptake in bean and cabbage grown in silty and sandy soil and irrigated with arsenic containing water
Sandil S., (Corresponding) Dobosy P., Kröpfl K., Füzy A., Óvári M., Záray G.
Topic:
Heavy metals in the environment
The uptake of arsenic was studied in bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) and cabbage (Brassica oleracea L. var. capitata L.) in an open greenhouse pot culture with sand and silt soil as substrate. The plants were irrigated with water containing sodium arsenate at concentrations 0.05 and 0.2 mg As L-1. The...Read more
Irrigation with reclaimed water containing Diclofenac and Lamotrigine induces stress reactions in Lettuce (Lactuca sativa)
Bigott Y., Perez S., Manasfy R., Montemurro N., Chowdhury S., (Corresponding) Schröder P.
Topic:
Water and wastewater reuse
Pharmaceuticals as contaminants in treated wastewater can become a serious problem for food safety when they are used for agricultural irrigation. These organic contaminants can be taken up by plants and trigger abiotic stress responses which can eventually affect plant growth and development. When...Read more
Cultivation of fiber crops for sustainable soil remediation and biobased raw material production for industrial uses
(Corresponding) Kotoula D., Karaviti T., Gorgiou P., Alexopoulou E., Papazoglou E.
Topic:
Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation
The contamination of agricultural soils with toxic metals is an escalating issue, posing hazards to both wildlife and human populations across vast land areas. The objective of the FORTE project is to address this issue by cultivating industrial hemp, flax and kenaf on contaminated mining and...Read more
