Azotobacter chroococcum\'s potential for use in crop production and the impact of air pollution on leaf chlorophyll content
Author(s): Frank P Tverdek*
Comparative investigations have been conducted in the current inquiry to determine the impact of air pollutants
produced by industry and automotive exhaust on the chrorophyll content of leaves. Azadirachta indica, Nerium
oleander, Mangifera indica, and Dalbergia sissoo leaf samples were gathered from locations that may have greater
and lower air pollution levels. Chlorophyll a, Chlorophyll b, and carotenoids were measured as photosynthetic
pigments. leaves of plants growing in more polluted areas have less photosynthetic pigments than those growing
in unpolluted or less polluted areas. The importance of Azotobacter chroococcum spp. in crop production has
emerged via research, as has its role in plant nutrition and soil fertility. A significant increase in crop output has
been seen in agriculture due to the potential use of Azotobacter chroococcum in research studies as a microbial.. View More»
