BIOCHAR AND PGPR ALLEVIATED CADMIUM TOXICITY IN ABELMOSCHUS ESCULENTUS (L.) MOENCH THROUGH ORCHESTERATION OF IAA CONTENT AND SOME PHYSIOLOGICAL ATTRIBUTES

Abstract

Current experiment was designed to investigate the potential of PGPR and biochar in mitigation of cadmium (Cd) stress in Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench. Cadmium (Cd) reduced growth of A. esculentus seedlings. The consistency of Cd with the reduction of their toxicity in the A. esculentus (ladyfinger) plant by thiol-modified Biochar was scrutinized in experiment. An Examination was executed in a greenhouse to analyze the role of biochar in Cd absorption by the okra plant. In this experiment, formation of thiol-biochar, by mixing of simple biochar and 3-mercaptopropyltrithoxysilane (3-MPTS). This modification comes out as simple and environmentally friendly. Moreover, that Bacillus subtilis lessened the Cd effect on crop productivity; experiment signifies that PGPR inoculations could ameliorate A. esculentus grown in Cd toxic conditions.
