Effects of Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria on Phytoremediation of Phenanthrene Contaminated Sodic Soil

The aim of the research is the dissipation of Phenanthrene in sodic soil in the presence of PGPR by two mucilagenous plant species (Trigonella foenum-graceum and Brassica juncea). To evaluate of affectivity of bioremediation in the presence of local sodic soil was artificially contaminated with the known different concentration of Phenanthrene separately to analyze the dissipation of Phenanthrene. Soil samples were taken after the 30 days of incubation in the presence of plant species and PGPR. Gas Chromatography result clearly indicate that Trigonella foenum-graceum (99%) is more efficient plant over the Brassica juncea (96%) is further indicate that PGPR having synergistic effect on phytoremediation of Phenanthrene.

Automated summary

The research aims to evaluate the dissipation of Phenanthrene in sodic soil in the presence of two mucilagenous plant species and PGPR, with Gas Chromatography results indicating Trigonella foenum-graceum as more efficient than Brassica juncea, and PGPR having a synergistic effect on the phytoremediation of Phenanthrene.
