Effect of bioinoculants and stone mulch on performance of biodiesel and medicinal plant species on limestone mined spoil

摘要

The limestone mined spoils also reduce the level of infectivity of AM fungi due to soil disturbance while AMF have been advocated for successful rehabilitation of different mine spoils. Mulching has also been reported to be helpful for establishment of plants on mined overburdens. Mulches are known for reducing water loss from the soil and may be helpful in maintaining moisture regime in the rhizosphere of the plant (Sarles and Emanuel 1977, Morse 1979).
