Call for papers/Topics

Full Articles/ Reviews/ Shorts Papers/ Abstracts are welcomed in the following research fields:

1. Plant Nutrition

Focuses on the chemical elements necessary for plant growth and the mechanisms by which they are acquired.

Essential Nutrients & Classification
- Criteria for essentiality (Arnon & Stout)
- Macronutrients (Primary): Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P), Potassium (K)
- Macronutrients (Secondary): Calcium (Ca), Magnesium (Mg), Sulfur (S)
- Micronutrients (Trace Elements): Iron (Fe), Zinc (Zn), Manganese (Mn), Copper (Cu), Boron (B), Molybdenum (Mo), Chlorine (Cl), Nickel (Ni)

Nutrient Uptake Mechanisms
- Passive transport (Diffusion, Mass flow)
- Active transport (Ion channels, Carriers, ATP-pumps)
- Role of the Rhizosphere and Root hairs

Physiological Roles & Deficiency Symptoms
- Metabolic functions (Photosynthesis, Enzyme activation, Protein synthesis)
- Visual symptoms (Chlorosis, Necrosis, Stunting, Anthocyanin accumulation)
- Nutrient mobility within the plant (Mobile vs. Immobile elements)

Fertilizers and Soil Amendments
- Chemical (Inorganic) fertilizers: NPK ratios, slow-release formulas
- Organic manures: Compost, Green manure, Vermicompost
- Bio-fertilizers: Nitrogen-fixing bacteria (Rhizobium), Mycorrhizae (VAM)

2. Soil Pollution

Examines the degradation of soil quality due to toxic substances and human activity.

Sources and Types of Soil Pollutants
- Agricultural: Pesticides, Herbicides, excess Fertilizers
- Industrial: Heavy metals (Lead, Mercury, Cadmium, Arsenic), Chemical spills
- Urban/Domestic: Plastic waste, E-waste, Sewage sludge
- Radioactive: Nuclear waste, Mining tailings

Pollutant Behavior in Soil
- Adsorption and Desorption (Soil-water interface)
- Leaching and Groundwater contamination
- Bioaccumulation and Biomagnification in the food chain

Environmental & Health Impacts
- Reduction in soil fertility and microbial activity
- Phytotoxicity (toxic effects on plants)
- Impacts on human health (Carcinogenesis, Organ failure)

Soil Remediation Techniques
- Physical/Chemical: Soil washing, Excavation, Thermal treatment
- Bioremediation: Using microorganisms to degrade organic pollutants
- Phytoremediation: Using plants to extract or stabilize contaminants (Phytoextraction, Phytostabilization)

3. Wastewater Management

Deals with the collection, treatment, and disposal of used water to protect ecosystems.

Sources and Characteristics of Wastewater
- Domestic sewage (Greywater and Blackwater)
- Industrial effluent (Toxic chemicals, Acids, Heavy metals)
- Agricultural runoff (Nutrient-rich, Pesticide-laden water)
- Parameters: BOD (Biochemical Oxygen Demand), COD (Chemical Oxygen Demand), pH, Turbidity

Stages of Wastewater Treatment
- Preliminary Treatment: Screening, Grit removal
- Primary Treatment: Sedimentation and Flocculation (Physical removal of solids)
- Secondary Treatment: Biological processes (Activated sludge, Trickling filters, Oxidation ponds)
- Tertiary (Advanced) Treatment: Nutrient removal (Nitrogen/Phosphorus), Disinfection (Chlorination, UV, Ozonation)

Sustainable Wastewater Solutions
- Constructed Wetlands and Bio-swales
- Water Reclamation and Reuse (Irrigation, Industrial cooling)
- Sludge Management: Anaerobic digestion, Composting, Biogas production

Environmental Policy and Quality Standards
- Effluent discharge limits
- The Clean Water Act and local regulatory frameworks
- Impact of untreated discharge: Eutrophication and Hypoxia (Dead zones)
