Salt stress severely limits global crop productivity by disrupting ionic balance, physiological processes, and cellular ultrastructure, particularly in salt-sensitive forages like alfalfa (Medicago sativa L). Addressing this issue requires environmentally feasible innovative strategies. This study investigated the comparative potential of Nano-FeO FeSO4 (30 mg kg-1) soil supplements with rhizobium on salt tolerance employing morphological, physicochemical, approaches. The results demonstrated that FITC-nFeO significantly reduced Na+ uptake, enhanced K+ accumulation, improved Na+/K+ ratio roots shoots relative to FeSO4. Scanning electron microscopy illustrated ameliorated root ultracellular structure leaf stomatal functionality, facilitating gaseous exchange characteristics photosynthetic performance. Confocal laser scanning confirmed FITC-tagged nFeO adhesion roots, supported transmission findings preserved chloroplast ultrastructure under application. also mitigated oxidative damage ROS, as evidenced hydrogen peroxide, electrolyte leakage, thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) content, through antioxidant enzyme activities. Overall, comparison FeSO4, retrieved salt-induced damages promoting morpho-physiological integrity. highlights role nanotechnology enhancing resilience salt-contaminated soils, paving way for eco-friendly remediation

The vast expanse of saline-alkali land in China represents a significant reserve resources for agricultural development. Therefore, it is essential to explore the tolerance crops, benefits soil improvement, and their carbon sequestration potential. This study utilized sorghum variety Jinliang 211 as experimental material, conducting trials woodland. A control four different treatments combining organic fertilizers amendments were established investigate effects these mixtures on growth, antioxidant enzyme activity, characteristics. results indicated that combined application fertilizer rice husk biochar could enhance salt 211, improve quality, increase capacity. Among measured plant indicators, T2 treatment (combined biochar) resulted highest dry matter accumulation, which was 68.4% higher than control. Concurrently, activities enzymes such SOD, POD, CAT significantly increased during jointing stage post-treatment, with observed treatment. Regarding content initially then decreased, showing content, 9.8% pH decreased increased, exhibiting lowest pH, 5.6% lower Importantly, demonstrated most pronounced “net sink” characteristics soil. In summary, mixed performed best enhancing increasing strengthening
