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 : Plantes alternatives pour applications PEPSystems, expected results english : The purpose of IRAP Contributions to Firms is to support research, development, adoption and/or adaptation of innovative or technology-driven new or improved products, services or processes in Canada up to their commercialization, expected results french : Le PARI, par le biais des Contributions aux entreprises, vise à appuyer la recherche, le développement, l’adaptation et/ou l’adoption au Canada de produits, de services ou de processus novateurs ou axés sur des technologies nouvelles ou améliorées, et ce jusqu’à leur commercialisation, additional information english : nan, additional information french : nan, owner organization : nrc-cnrc, owner organization title : National Research Council Canada | Conseil national de recherches Canada
