Evaluation of phytoremediation potential by rhizospheric bacteria of Parthenium hysterophorus growing on disposed distillery sludge for ecorestoration of polluted site

Key Points

• The aim is to evaluate the potential of rhizospheric bacteria associated with Parthenium hysterophorus for phytoremediation in polluted sites.
• Analyzed rhizospheric bacteria from Parthenium hysterophorus growing on distillery sludge.
• Assessed the effectiveness of these bacteria in phytoremediation processes.
• Conducted field trials to monitor eco-restoration outcomes.
• Rhizospheric bacteria significantly enhanced pollutant degradation in contaminated sites.
• Demonstrated improved soil quality indices post-treatment with bacteria.
• Indicated a potential reduction of harmful substances in the ecorestoration process.
