The impact of invasive Hyptis suaveolens on the floristic composition of the periurban ecosystems of Chandigarh, northwestern India
(Elsevier GmbH, 2017)
We investigated the impact of invasive Hyptis suaveolens on the natural vegetation and soil of the periurban ecosystems of Chandigarh (Northwestern India), in terms of declines in species number, importance value index ...
Tolerance and hyperaccumulation of cadmium by a wild, unpalatable herb Coronopus didymus (L.) Sm. (Brassicaceae)
(Academic Press, 2017)
The potential of a wild, unpalatable plant Coronopus didymus was investigated for the first time in terms of its capability to tolerate and accumulate cadmium (Cd) for phytoremediation purposes. A screenhouse experiment ...
Phytotoxicity and weed management potential of leaf extracts of Callistemon viminalis against the weeds of rice
(Springer, 2017)
We explored the phytotoxicity of Callistemon viminalis leaf extracts (LE; 0.5, 1, 2 and 4%) towards germination and early growth of rice (Oryza sativa L.) and its associated weeds [Echinochloa crus-galli (L.) Beauv., Cyperus ...
Appraising the role of environment friendly chelants in alleviating lead by Coronopus didymus from Pb-contaminated soils
(Elsevier Ltd, 2017)
In a screenhouse experiment, we investigated the role of two environment friendly chelants, Ammonium molybdate and EDDS for Pb mobilisation and its extraction by Coronopus didymus under completely randomized controlled ...
Chemical Characterization and Phytotoxicity of Foliar Volatiles and Essential Oil of Callistemon viminalis
(Har Krishan Bhalla and Sons, 2017)
We investigated the chemical composition and phytotoxicity of foliar volatiles (directly released from the macerated leaves) and essential oil extracted from the leaves of Callistemon viminalis against four weed species. ...
Alterations in photosynthetic pigments, protein, and carbohydrate metabolism in a wild plant Coronopus didymus L. (Brassicaceae) under lead stress
(Polish Academy of Sciences, 2017)
Coronopus didymus has been emerged as a promising wild, unpalatable plant species to alleviate lead (Pb) from the contaminated soils. This work investigated the hypothesis regarding various metabolic adaptations of C. ...
Phenological behaviour of Parthenium hysterophorus in response to climatic variations according to the extended BBCH scale
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2017)
Considering the importance of ecological and biological traits in imparting invasive success to the alien species, the phenological behaviour of an alien invasive weed Parthenium hysterophorus was documented according to ...
Phytotoxicity and cytotoxicity of Citrus aurantiifolia essential oil and its major constituents: Limonene and citral
(Elsevier B.V., 2017)
The essential oils are fast emerging as the source of natural herbicides owing to their environmentally benign properties. The focus of the present study, thus, was to investigate the phytotoxicity and cytotoxicity of ...
