“…Oil samples derived from wastewater irrigation provided a lower concentration of free fatty acids and a slight reduction in viscosity. According to Abbas et al [103], irrigation with wastewater resulted in higher fresh and dry weights of castor bean roots, shoots, leaves, and seeds (g•plant −1 ) than those irrigated with freshwater, due to nutritive element contents such as N, P, and K.…”

Biofuel Production with Castor Bean: A Win–Win Strategy for Marginal Land

The urgency to reduce resource depletion and waste production is expected to lead to an economy based on renewable resources. Biofuels, for instance, are a great green alternative to fossil fuel, but they are currently derived from edible vegetable oils such as soybean, palm, and sunflower. Concerns have been raised about the social–economic implication and ecological impacts of biodiesel production. Cultivating new lands as biodiesel feedstock rather than food supply, with the consequent increase in food prices, leads to so-called indirect land-use change (ILUC). Establishing bioenergy crops with phytoremediation ability on contaminated soils offers multiple benefits such as improving soil properties and ecosystem services, decreasing soil erosion, and diminishing the dispersion of potentially toxic elements (PTEs) into the environment. Castor bean is an unpalatable, high-biomass plant, and it has been widely demonstrated to possess phytoremediation capability for several PTEs. Castor bean can grow on marginal lands not suitable for food crops, has multiple uses as a raw material, and is already used in biodiesel production. These characteristics make it perfect for sustainable biodiesel production. Linking biofuel production with environmental remediation can be considered a win–win strategy.

“…A promising technique that is recommended by many researchers to increase plant productivity is through irradiating seeds with gamma rays (Parchin et al, 2019;Volkova et al, 2020;Abbas et al, 2015 and2020). This technique increases root elongation (Melki and Marouani, 2010), shoot length (Toker et al, 2005), induces further nutrient carriers (Abbas et al, 2020), stimulates plant growth and development (Marcu et al, 2013;Galal et al, 2018), increases free radicals (Bhat et al, 2007), inactivates plant pathogens (Rajkowski and Thayer, 2001) and enhances plant tolerance to biotic/abiotic stresses (Macovei et al, 2014).…”

“…Moreover, it increases plant drought tolerance through increasing the activities of several antioxidant enzymes (Sen et al, 2017). It also increases the capability of the grown plants to take up more nutrients from treated irrigation water and; hence, increases their productivity (Abbas et al, 2015 andGalal et al, 2018).…”

A fIelD experiment was conducted at the experimental farm of Soil and Water Research Department, Nuclear Research Centre, Atomic energy Authority, Inshas, egypt to investigate the effects of radiating canola seeds with γ-ray at three doses, i.e. 100, 200 and 300 Gy vs the non-irradiated controlon plant growth performance and yield productivity. Nitrogen fertilization and the source of irrigation water were also matters of concern in this study. All experimental plots received the recommended dose of N-fertilizers (150 kg N ha-1) in either of the following forms:100% mineral-N, 100% organic-N or 50% mineral-N +50% organic-N. Also, a drip irrigation-system was constructed to irrigate canola plants with either freshwater or treated-wastewater. Irradiation, in general, resulted in higher values of canola-dry-weights which were enhanced by increasing gamma ray dose up to 300Gy. Similarly, NPK contents within different plant parts of the irradiated-canola increased in an order coincide with the magnitudes of the used irradiation dose, i.e. 300Gy> 200Gy >100Gy > 0Gy. Moreover, oil yield was significantly increased with increasing gamma dose. On the other hand, the enhancement of NPK uptake was more vigorous in case of combined-fertilization-treatment (50% mineral-N +50% organic-N) than the application of either 100% mineral-N or 100% organic-N. This consequently raised significantly root and shoot dry weights as well as seed yield and canola oil productivity. It seems that irrigation with treated wastewater resulted in higher increases in NPK uptake as well as canola oil yield than irrigation with freshwater. Thus, it can be deduced that the combined-fertilization-treatment and high irradiation dose of gamma-ray had achieved the highest increases in plant DW and productivity (5.3 Mg seed yield ha-1), at the same time these values were higher under irrigation with treated wastewater than those irrigated with fresh water.
