Other claims from this paper (12)
- Intervention effect Increasing chromium levels caused a significant linear reduction in growth, biomass and physiological parameters of chili.
- Intervention effect Chromium at 100 mg/kg in soil decreased relative water content of chili by 20.04%, compared with the control.
- Intervention effect Chromium at 200 mg/kg in soil decreased relative water content of chili by 27.21%, compared with the control.
- Intervention effect Chromium at 100 mg/kg in soil decreased total chlorophyll concentrations of chili by 11.73%, compared with the control.
- Intervention effect Chromium at 200 mg/kg in soil decreased total chlorophyll concentrations of chili by 20.57%, compared with the control.
- Intervention effect Chromium at 100 mg/kg in soil increased electrolyte leakage of chili by 59.14%, compared with the control.
- Intervention effect Chromium at 200 mg/kg in soil increased electrolyte leakage of chili by 130.52%, compared with the control.
- Intervention effect Combined compost and selenium significantly increased chili variables regardless of chromium concentration in soil.
- Intervention effect Synergistic compost and selenium limited the movement and uptake of Cr in the roots and fruits of chili compared with the sole application.
- Mechanism Improved physiological and antioxidant potential of chili limited lipid peroxidation and membrane damage.
- Mechanism The combined use of compost and selenium induces physio-biochemical defense responses in chili under varying chromium stress.
- Recommendation Compost and selenium can support growing chili in Cr-contaminated soils for better quality and higher yields.
