Soil compaction is a pressing issue in agriculture that significantly hinders plant growth and soil health, necessitating effective strategies for mitigation. This study examined the effects of sugarcane bagasse, both its raw form as biochar, along with biological activators (Bacillus simplex UTT1 Phanerochaete chrysosporium) on characteristics corn (Zea mays L.) biomass compacted soil. Using completely randomized factorial design, we assessed their impact bulk density, porosity, nutrient concentrations, parameters. Results indicated combining organic amendments microbial inoculation (B. + P. reduced density (7-14%) (p < 0.05) enhanced aggregate stability (38%), permeability coefficient (52%), total porosity (40%) 0.01) compared to controls. Notably, application biochar inoculants improved moisture retention availability, particularly potassium phosphorus, which increased by 18% 23%, respectively. Plant responses (10-35%) varied, combined treatments yielding optimal outcomes individual applications. The emphasizes integrating processes not only mitigates but also fosters health productivity. These findings support need sustainable agricultural practices, highlighting role resource management enhancing structure crop yields. Future research should focus understanding underlying mechanisms these interactions long-term implications sustainability. Clinical trial number Not applicable.

This study investigated the effects of non-thermal atmospheric plasma (NTAP) treatment on growth, chemical composition, and biological activity geranium (Pelargonium graveolens L'Herit) leaves. NTAP was applied at a frequency 13.56 MHz, exposure time 15 s, discharge temperature 25 °C, power levels (T1 = 50, T2 80, T3 120 W). Results demonstrated significant increases (P < 0.05) in fresh dry biomass all compared to control, with highest improvements seen T3. Mineral content (K, P, Ca, Fe, Mg, Zn, N) significantly elevated, particularly Chlorophyll (a + b carotenoids) also showed marked across treatments, correlating enhanced photosynthetic rates. Improved photosynthesis led accumulation primary metabolites, such as amino acids, organic fatty acids. mainly T3, increased essential non-essential oxalic, isobutyric, fumaric They unsaturated oleic acid (C18:1), saturated including myristic (C14:0) stearic (C18:0). These provided precursors for synthesis secondary phenolics. The phenolic turn explained improved antioxidant capacity observed Fluorescence Recovery After Photobleaching FRAP, anti-lipid peroxidation, superoxide radical scavenging, hydroxyl scavenging assays, especially treatments. Antimicrobial elevated notably inhibiting tested bacterial fungal strains, Sarcina lutea. In conclusion, biomass, phytochemical profile leaves, enhancing their antimicrobial properties, thereby increasing potential nutritional therapeutic value plant.

The formulation of food products is a very important part achieving safety and security through the provision healthy nutritious products. Success requires proper characterization basic components. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate nutritional parameters some spices soumbala for formulating soumbala-based seasoning rich in bioactive compounds. Six (onion, parsley, anise, chili, black pepper, guinea pepper) were used study. Physicochemical biochemical evaluated using standard methods. Results showed that acidity ranged from 1.22%-4.26% pepper Parsley respectively. pH onion was most acidic (5.73). Soumbala slightly (7.21). dry matter content 86.44%-94.34% green aniseed, richer protein (35.27%) anise had lowest (10.54%). lipids, more energetic, while carbohydrates. Considering these high macromolecular contents their richness micronutrients compounds, with an appropriate blend ingredients would provide functional wellbeing consumers.
