“…Previous research reveals that higher concentrations of HMs in the soil lead to their elevated concentrations in the soil and wheat shoots, roots, and grain [11,13,14]. According to our results, the CH+ML treatment performed excellently in terms of reducing Pb, Cd, Cr, Ni, Cu, and Co concentrations in wheat shoots, roots, grain, and fractions in the soil (Figure 4).…”

“…Previous research reveals that higher concentrations of HMs in the soil lead to elevated concentrations in the soil and wheat shoots, roots, and grain [11,13 According to our results, the CH+ML treatment performed excellently in term reducing Pb, Cd, Cr, Ni, Cu, and Co concentrations in wheat shoots, roots, grain, fractions in the soil (Figure 4). It was especially important for Pb, Cd, and concentrations in shoots, which content can be classified as excessive or toxic [4 highlights the significance of CH as a soil amendment for reducing Cd distributio moringa plants grown on Cd-polluted soil [16], Ni distribution in lettuce grow Ni-stressed soil [46], and various HMs in aubergine plant grown on wastewater irrig soil [8].…”

“…Apart from humans, different products are also made from wheat grain to feed the cattle and poultry industry, thus enlightening the significance of the wheat crop in our foodstuff [10]. Unfortunetely, elevated concentrations of different HMs have been reported in wheat grain obtained from HM polluted soils [11,12], posing a severe health risk to humans [13,14]. Furthermore, soil contamination with HMs reduces the contents of biochemical compounds, vitamins, nutrients, yield, and wheat growth [4,11].…”

Due to freshwater scarcity in developing countries, irrigating the arable land with wastewater poses potential ecological risks to the environment and food quality. Using cheap soil amendments and foliar application of a newly discovered molecule “melatonin” (ML) can alleviate these effects. The objectives of this pot study were to evaluate the effectiveness of the sole addition of chitosan (CH) and sugar beet factory lime (SBL) in wastewater impacted soil, foliar application of ML, and combining each soil amendment with ML on the heavy metals (HMs) accumulation, growth, nutritional quality and photosynthesis in wheat. Results showed that CH was more effective than SBL for reducing HMs bioavailability in soil, HMs distribution in plants, improving photosynthesis, nutritional quality, and growth. ML application also influenced plant parameters but less than CH and SBL. The CH+ML treatment was the most effective for influencing plant parameters and reducing HMs bioavailability in the soil. Compared to control, CH+ML significantly reduced the concentrations of Pb, Cd, Cr, Ni, Cu, and Co in roots, shoots, and grain up to 89%. We conclude that adding CH+ML in wastewater impacted soils can remediate the soil; reduce HMs concentrations in plants; and improve their photosynthesis, plant growth, grain yield, and nutrition.

“…These values were the highest values of soil salinity, soil organic matter, and calcium carbonate content at harvesting as affected by the combined application of nanofertilizers using Se and Cu. The increase in salts and nutrients was reported as by Akbar et al [64]; however, Waheed et al [65] found that EC values were within permissible standard limits. On the other hand, they found that irrigation with wastewater, which contained a variety of organic compounds from urban communities, greatly increased organic matter levels, and organic matter addition is one of the most prevalent reasons for using wastewater in irrigation.…”

Sustainable Production of Tomato Plants (Solanum lycopersicum L.) under Low-Quality Irrigation Water as Affected by Bio-Nanofertilizers of Selenium and Copper

et al. 2022

Under the global water crisis, utilizing low-quality water sources in agriculture for irrigation has offered an effective solution to address the shortage of water. Using an excess of low-quality water sources may cause serious risks to the environment, which threaten crop safety and human health. Three kinds of irrigation water (0.413, 1.44, and 2.84 dS m−1) were selected under foliar-applied bio-nanofertilizers of selenium (100 mg L−1) and copper (100 mg L−1) in individual and/or combined application. The nanofertilizers were tested on the production of tomato under greenhouse. After harvesting, the quality of tomato yield and soil biology was evaluated. Using saline water for irrigation caused many main features in this study such as increasing the accumulation of salts, soil organic matter, and CaCO3 in soil by 84.6, 32.3, and 18.4%, respectively, compared to control. The highest tomato yield (2.07 kg plant−1) and soluble solids content (9.24%) were recorded after irrigation with low water quality (2.84 dS m−1) and nano-Cu fertilization. The plant enzymatic antioxidants and soil biological activity were decreased in general due to the salinity stress of irrigation water. After 30 days from transplanting, all studied soil biological parameters (soil microbial counts and enzymes) were higher than the same parameters at harvesting (80 days) under different categories of water quality. The values of all soil biological parameters were decreased by increasing water salinity. This study was carried out to answer the question of whether the combined nanofertilizers of selenium and copper can promote tomato production under saline water irrigation. Further investigations are still needed concerning different applied doses of these nanofertilizers.

Wastewater irrigation is a substitute for surface water scarcity, but traces of heavy metals (HMs) result in deleterious implications for soil, crop productivity, and in humans. Crops presenting HMs tolerance in genetic behavior are important for producing tolerant genotypes cultivated under wastewater irrigation. In the first part of this experiment, the results obtained previously are re-assessed in a hydroponic system and similar patterns and concentrations of HMs are found in different tomato organs. Following this trial, the tomato’s (Solanum lycopersicum L.) genetic basis of traits conferring HMs tolerance and yield are assessed when irrigated with waste or canal water. The North Carolina Mating II analysis illustrate the amount of gene action, nature, and inheritance pattern. Genetic components depict the involvement of non-additive, additive, and maternal genetic effects in HMs tolerance inheritance and yield. A noticeable increase in cumulative additive variance for the number of flowers (11,907.2) and the number of fruits (10,557.9) is recorded for tomato plants irrigated with wastewater, illustrating additive gene action. However, female and male (MSf/MSm) square ratios also show an association with cytoplasmic inheritance. For HMs tolerance, both additive and dominant variances appeared to be significant; cumulative dominance variance (4.83, 16.1, 4.69, 76.95, and 249.37) is higher compared to additive variance (0.18, 2.36, 0.19, −0.27, and 14.14) for nickel (Ni), chromium (Cr), lead (Pb), manganese (Mn), and zinc (Zn), respectively, indicating dominance gene action. The genotype RIOGRANDI accumulated and translocated fewer HMs to the aerial part of the plant compared to CLN-2418A and PB-017906, thus presenting a tolerant tomato genotype according to the hydroponic experiment. This also exhibited a differential pattern of gene action for HMs tolerance, suggesting that genotypes possess significant differences for HMs tolerance.
