Fe plaque formations were promoted by Fe application, which was 7.8 and 10.4 times higher at 1 and 2 g kg-1 Fe applications compared to the control Fe treatment. The Quest cultivar exhibited 13% higher iron plaque formation capacity compared to the Langi cultivar in both soil types. These results indicate that enhanced iron plaque formation on the root surface was crucial to reduce the Cd concentration in rice plants, which could be an effective strategy to regulate grain Cd accumulation in rice plants.]]> Wed 28 Sep 2022 15:44:43 AEST ]]> Growth, Nutrient Accumulation, and Drought Tolerance in Crop Plants with Silicon Application: A Review https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:45418 Wed 07 Feb 2024 15:21:21 AEDT ]]> Geospatial Machine Learning Prediction of Arsenic Distribution in the Groundwater of Murshidabad District, West Bengal, India: Analyzing Spatiotemporal Patterns to Understand Human Health Risk https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:54047 10 μg/L was much greater in the regions between two major rivers than in the regions close to the Ganges River on the eastern border of the study area, where higher proportions of As concentrations >10 μg/L had been observed prior to 2005. The greater likelihood that toxic concentrations of As are present away from the river channel and is found instead in the interfluvial regions could be attributed to the transport and flushing of aquifer As from intense irrigation pumping. We estimated that about 2.8 million people could be chronically exposed to As concentrations >10 μg/L. This high population-level exposure to elevated As concentrations could be reduced through targeted well-testing campaigns, promoting well-switching, provisions for safe water access, and developing plans for raising public awareness. Policymakers could use the ternary hazard map presented here to target high-risk localities for priority implementation of piped water supply strategies to help reduce human suffering.]]> Tue 30 Jan 2024 13:50:01 AEDT ]]> A risk analysis of COVID-19 infections in Kolkata Metropolitan City: a GIS based study https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:38889 Thu 24 Feb 2022 16:26:28 AEDT ]]> Hydrogeochemical characteristics of groundwater contamination in Guwahati city, Assam, India: Tracing the elemental Threads https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:55384 Fri 24 May 2024 10:35:14 AEST ]]>
