toxicity and can even kill the plant. Critical levels of micronutrients in plants greatly accepted in India are given in Table 5. e critical levels may differ not only for soils and crops species but also for different varieties of a given crop (Sharma, 1996). Higher concentrations can lead to toxicity and can even kill the plant.

Details of internal-standard elements applied to the experiment are given in Table2. For the determination by ICP-MS, all the samples were diluted two times to obtain solutions containing 2.5% (v/v) of acid. All solutions were spiked with the internal-standard solution for a final concentration of 10mgL21. In this way the test

Neem protects itself from the multitude of pests with a multitude of pesticidal ingredients. Its main chemical broadside is a mixture of 3 or 4 related compounds, and it backs these up with 20 or so others that are minor but nonetheless active in one way or another. In the main, these compounds belong to a general class of natural products called …

The neem plants absorb carbon dioxide and maintains the balance between the CO 2 and O 2 on the earth atmosphere. By using the photosynthesis, these plants produce mor e

The plant N contents were measured at 20, 60, and 120 DAS by following the standard procedure mentioned by Jones Jr . The plant-dried sample (1.0 g) was put in a digestion tube. Then mix 15 ml of concentrated H 2 SO 4 and 1 g digestion mixture (K 2 SO 4 +CuSO 4 @ 9:1), and heat the tubes at 450 °C for 2 h in a digestion block. The …

Lethal concentration (LC50) of 14.83ml/mg at 12 hours and a percentage egg reduction of 84% after 2 weeks was recorded, which revealed that the plant leaves have anthelmintic potential and this ...

Plants are frequently thought of as a readily accessible, controllable, safe, and economical source of precursor material for the synthesis of several kinds of NPs [] as shown on Fig. 1.Certain parts of the plant, including the leaves, roots, seeds, flowers, fruits, peels, petals, the entire plant, and seed shell, are used in the biosynthetic process …

Minor elements (Mn, Sr, Fe, Zn, Cu and Ti) are observed in the neem plant. The variation in elemental concentration in the leaf may be due to soil, water, etc. However, there are no toxic elements observed like arsenic and lead in the leaf.Further, though the presence of different medicinal values in the target …

The average concentration in all but one vegetable samples centred on the value of ~3 µg.g -1, and a slightly higher average value is observed for the cabbage samples (~3.3 µg.g -1 ).

The concentration values of 15 elements determined by INAA in the six types of vegetable plant samples along with the standard deviations are presented in …

Prepare a 1 M HCl solution (4% HCl) by adding 12.5 mL of a 37% HCl stock solution to 87.5 mL of DDW (in a plastic or glass flask). Weigh a 15 mL plastic tube and note the value or set the value to zero using the tare button. Transfer the ashes to the tube, weigh, and note the value. This is the ash weight.

Introduction. All plant species require at least 16 elements for their growth and survival, and some species may need an additional four (Mengel & Kirkby, 2001).Because N and P generally are the elements limiting plant growth rates, most studies of plant stoichiometry have focused on these elements, and it is clearly …
