The banana bowl in Khandesh, Citrus zone in Varhad and cotton/ cereal crops belt in all north eastern Maharashtra witness nitarte contamination in underground water as these soils are routinely fertilized with heavy dosages of nitrogenous fertilizers. Thus, the bulky doses of the fertilizers for the past five decades (since 1970s) have been resulted into (i...

Autonomous College, Durg Chetna Gupta  Deptt. of Microbiology, Govt. V.Y.T. P.G. Autonomous College, Durg Water inhabiting autotrophic microorganisms has the ability to grow in mass quantity under ideal conditions and such ability provides usable biomass at minimal efforts. These microorganisms are reported to play a significant role in heavy metal absorption from contaminated water in which they are growing. In the present study two Cyanobacterial isolates were cultured using different growth media (nitrogen plus and nitrogen free). The isolates were studied for their ability to tolerate heavy metals under experimental conditions by the dilution method with different concentrations (5, 10, 15ppm). Among the heavy metals Cu, As, Pb and Hg are reported to require for cor...

Autonomous Maharaja College, Chhatarpur Jagrati Tiwari  Research Scholar, Deptt. of Botany M.G.C.G.V. Chitrakoot University, Satna Khajuraho temples are unique for their specific artwork. The temples have a rich display of intricately carved statues. Distinct pattern of architect work on the monuments makes difference from the other monuments. Some species of higher plants have seen on the surface of the temples. The growth of the higher plants causes deterioration on the monumental surface. Mostly some species of grasses and some species of weeds are mainly grown on the surface of monuments. Higher plants have their real root system which penetrate in the surface of monuments and cause major damage of the monumental surface. This paper is mainly concern on the macro flora p...
