My question is from the agriculture researchers and experts so please others are not invited to answer.
If the soil contains some contents like poison and some croup is grown upon it like sugar cane or water Melon will it affect the taste or will it be absorbed in smaller amounts to to traced chemically ?
Soil has every capacity to decompose most of the poisons , even those having hydrocarbon of cyclic hexagonal rings, though you have not revealed the nature of poisons, but I don't think, it will have any discernible impact on crops , you intend to grow...from t the point of view of toxicity/ poison concentration accumulating inside the pulp ...
Dear Dr Anoop Kumar thanks for adding answer I found a treatment from history for an important disease I can't disclose but just sharing for your interest and research that the treatment is burring a snake in earth and growing a piece of sugar cane on it . When it is grown up it's lower end is advised to be used by the patient. I wanted to confirm this from the agriculture researchers ? Kindly further probe into this and guide me more
Dear Mr Ali, interesting query. Once a snake is buried, it will get decomposed in soil. So far as snake venom is concerned it is merely a modified saliva, or a combination of many different proteins and enzymes, which get denatured on decomposition. There absorption by plants may not have any adverse or beneficial effect. But it is proved that if in any soil bone meal etc is added, it provides phosphorus and potash and other minerals to plants, which in turn help in improving quality of plant product.
It could be possible as I said earlier.The active gradient as a compound is hard to get entry into the plant through roots.If it is a microbe I habiting soil could be absorbed by roots as neophytes and later inside the plant synthesizes certain molecules poisonous to human beings.
