Viticulture represents an important agricultural practice in many countries worldwide. Yet,
the continuous use of fungicides has caused copper (Cu) accumulation in soils, which …

Copper (Cu) is essential to plants but can also be harmful due to Fenton chemistry. Because
of that, it is necessary to keep Cu within a narrow concentration limit. Plants evolved …

Long-term organic fertilizer (OF) application on agricultural soils is known to induce soil Cu
and Zn contamination, along with pH and organic matter changes, which in turn alter the soil …

Heavy metal (HM) contamination of plastic-shed vegetable production (PSVP) areas is a
great concern in China because of severe soil quality deterioration and the risk of HM …

The production of large volumes of waste flotation tailings results in environmental pollution
and presents a major ecological and environmental risk. This study investigates bioleaching …

Intercropping may be a strategy for phytoremediation of vineyard soils with high copper (Cu)
content. The study aimed to evaluate the contribution of South American native grasses in …

High copper (Cu) levels in soil caused by anthropic activity, as in vineyards, can cause
phytotoxicity and reduce plant productivity. However, the distribution of Cu chemical-species …

Electroplating sludge (ES) containing large quantities of heavy metals is regarded as a
hazardous waste in China. This paper introduced a simple method of treating ES using …

Organic wastes, fertilizers, organominerals, and minerals contain nutrients essential to crops
and contribute to increase productivity. However their use can also lead to the accumulation …

Crop protection strategies based on cupric products and mainly adopted in organic
viticulture produce a consistent environmental impact due to the persistence of copper in …
