Introduction Water contamination due to heavy metals is a pressing environmental concern, impacting both groundwater and wastewater systems. Heavy metals such as copper (Cu), chromium (Cr), lead (Pb), arsenic (As), manganese (Mn), zinc (Zn), boron (B), and aluminum (Al) pose significant risks to human health and the ecosystem when present in excess concentrations. These metals …
Introduction Trace metal analysis is a crucial part of environmental pollution studies [4, 12, 16].Plants growing in contaminated environments can accumulate trace elements at high quantities, which poses a major risk to people, even though some trace metals are essential for plant nutrition [15]. The core source of trace metals to plants is the air …
IntroductionAgriculture is the backbone of the global food system, providing sustenance for millions ofpeople worldwide. However, increasing population growth, climate change, and landdegradation have placed significant pressure on agricultural systems to ensure food security,environmental sustainability, and economic resilience. Among the various strategies beingexplored to address these challenges, intercropping has emerged as a promising practice.Intercropping refers …
The development of Sensor technology has been a key driver in advancing numerous Scientific and Industrial fields, from healthcare to Environmental monitoring. Electrochemical Biosensors are basic apparatus that convert biological data generated by a redox reaction into an Electrical Signal [1]. Through the identification of several bio-analytes and Chemicals, they are crucial in detection of …

Introduction Cyanobacteria are believed to be ubiquitous, inhabiting a broader range of environments than any other organism on Earth. They can thrive in varied environmental conditions, such as hot water springs, hypersaline areas, chilling climates, and deserts. Additionally, they are commonly found in freshwater, marine, and terrestrial ecosystems [70,40]. One of the most remarkable features …
Introduction Tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) is a vegetal of countless economic overgrownworldwide and is commercially cultivated on all over continents (Biswas et al., 2015). Tomato is an essential element in the diet of the world population as it has high levels of lycopene and minerals, resulting in benefits to human health(Hashmi et al., 2015). Yet, …
INTRODUCTION Soils are unrenewable natural resources that vary in their properties and composition spatially across the landscape and vertically down the soil profile (Brady & Weil., 2010., Brubaker et al., 1993). However, soil variation is a function of various factors, including climate, living organisms, parent materials, topography, and time. Within a locality, the topography may …
INTRODUÇÃO Soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] has great social and economic value as one of the largest vegetable oil sources with low cost and high protein content for human and animal consumption [3]. Anticarsia gemmatalis Hubner (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), a key pest of the soybean crops in Brazil and other American countries, causes extreme defoliation with …
INTRODUCTION The size and shape of metallic nanoparticles are the most crucial characteristics that influence their application. The specific uses of metallic nanoparticles depend on their size, shape, and the synthesis method employed. All metallic nanoparticles (MNPs) are particularly appealing due to their unique properties and wide range of applications. It is well established that …
