Salinity, a significant abiotic stressor, imperils vegetable growth, yield, and quality. Moreover, elevated salinity levels, driven by climate change, jeopardize nutritional In particular, protected cultivation systems, responsible for 60% of the global industry's economic value, encounter notable challenges in managing due to water runoff drainage mechanism limitations. Therefore, it is crucial understand intricate mechanisms that control use this knowledge improve plant tolerance these conditions. study, we explore strategies effectively mitigate detrimental impacts on crops cultivated within environments. Additionally, investigate benefits controlled moderate adjustments enhance their content. Moderate or nutrient solution increases typically raise total soluble solids, sugar, vitamin C, phenols, lycopene, antioxidants most fruit vegetables. Though generally applicable leafy vegetables, exceptions like lettuce wild rocket may show inconsistencies, potentially reducing some quality traits. Interdisciplinary approaches are essential developing sustainable solutions thereby ensuring resilience production face changing environmental Given impracticality desalinating all areas, future research should also synergies between stress, cultivars used, factors from physiological molecular perspectives

Halophytes, such as Salicornia species, are promising new foods and consumed for their pleasant salty taste nutritional value. Since is perishable, modified atmospheric packaging (MAP) can be a useful tool, in combination with proper temperature, to halt further quality degradation this type of product. The purpose study was investigate the effect MAP, or without refrigeration, extend shelf life glasswort (Salicornia europaea L.) grown hydroponically (floating raft system) greenhouse nutrient solution containing 0 g/L (C) 12.5 NaCl (T). dry matter content, weight loss, respiration rate, biochemical composition, color, antioxidant capacity, sensorial attributes were determined shoots after harvest during storage plastic bags filled technical air MAP at 4 20 °C 120 h. At harvest, plants supplied salt-enriched (T) showed significant improvement value sensory profile. Storage room temperature (20 °C) accelerated loss diminished color stability, particularly non-salinity samples (C), while extended all regardless adopted. Optimal conditions observed when combined which allowed effectively preserve acceptability period about seven days. Future research could explore long-term effects on S. under various combinations different temperatures ranging between °C.

This study investigated the potential of biochar as a sustainable material for waste utilization and carbon sequestration in soil. Biochar was prepared from cow manure (CM) applied to processed by subjecting CM various temperature ranges (400 [CMB400], 550 [CMB550], 700 °C [CMB700]) under nitrogen gas (allowed flow restrict oxygen), with residence time set 3 h. The characteristics produced at each were analyzed. experiment conducted approximately 15 weeks laboratory maintained between 24 26 °C. growth rate plants obtained measuring their length weekly, starting 4 after crop establishment. CMB550 exhibited highest specific surface area (117.57 m2 g−1) well-distributed pore size; therefore, it mixed soil ratio put pots planting Salicornia herbacea L.
