Alternative Plants for PEPSystems Applications
FY 2018-19 · 2018-08-01
Summary
Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR) – Enhanced Phytoremediation Systems (PEPSystems™) combines plants with PGPR to increase the tolerance of the plants to biotic and abiotic stresses including contaminants, drought or excessive soil moisture, and poor quality soils. The current commercial system uses a variety of grasses with Pseudomonad bacteria. We will be studying the use of alternative, deeper rooting species, including alfalfa, and other bacteria species for improved remediation of salt, hydrocarbon and metals and for reclamation. We will also conduct research using PGPR and flowering/other perennial plant species to develop a low maintenance plant mixture that will be aesthetically pleasing and thrive on poor quality soils.

Description (French)
Les systèmes de phytoremédiation améliorée - rhizobactérie favorisant la croissance des plantes (RFCP) (PEPSystems ™) associent les plantes au RFCP pour augmenter la tolérance des plantes aux stress biotiques et abiotiques, incluant les contaminants, la sécheresse ou l'humidité excessive du sol et les sols de mauvaise qualité. Le système commercial actuel utilise une variété de graminées avec des bactéries pseudomonadaceae. Nous étudierons l'utilisation de nouvelles espèces d'enracinement plus profondes, incluant la luzerne et d'autres espèces de bactéries, pour améliorer la remédiation du sel, des hydrocarbures et des métaux et pour la remise en état. Nous mènerons également des recherches sur l'utilisation de RFCP et d'autres espèces de plantes vivaces / en fleurs pour développer un mélange de plantes nécessitant peu d'entretien, qui sera esthétique et prospère pour des sols de mauvaise qualité.
