Uptake, Distribution, and Activity of Pluronic F68 Adjuvant in Wheat and Its Endophytic Bacillus Isolate Open
Surfactants are widely utilized in agriculture as emulsifying, dispersing, anti-foaming, and wetting agents. In these adjuvant roles, the inherent biological activity of the surfactant is secondary to the active ingredients. Here, the hydr…

Contrasting arsenic cycling in strongly and weakly stratified contaminated lakes: Evidence for temperature control on sediment–water arsenic fluxes Open
Arsenic contamination of lakebed sediments is widespread due to a range of human activities, including herbicide application, waste disposal, mining, and smelter operations. The threat to aquatic ecosystems and human health is dependent on…

Soil chemistry influences the phytotoxicity of metal oxide nanoparticles Open
Nanoparticles (NPs) of ZnO and CuO are used in an array of different commercial products. NPs could be introduced into soils by contamination after production from distribution and use, especially from their end-of-life fate. Purposeful in…
