Gypsum and Tillage Practices for Combating Soil Salinity and Enhancing Crop Productivity

Agriculture, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 15(6), P. 658 - 658

Published: March 20, 2025

Soil salinity is a major global challenge, reducing fertility and crop productivity. This study evaluated the effects of various soil management practices on physical, chemical, microbial properties saline soils. Six treatments, combining loosening, ploughing, disking, gypsum amendment, were applied to solonetzic meadow with high sodium levels. penetration resistance was measured using Penetronik penetrometer, while chemical analyses included pH, total salt content, calcium carbonate (CaCO3), humus, exchangeable cations (Na+, K+, Ca2+, Mg2+). Microbial composition determined through DNA extraction nanopore sequencing. The results showed that level A had lowest (333 ± 200 N/m2), indicating better conditions for plant growth. Gypsum loosening treatment significantly improved (141 N/m2, p < 0.001), amendment enhanced (p 0.05, 0.01, 0.001). application balanced parameters influenced communities. Reduced tillage favored functionally important genera but did not support fungal diversity > 0.05). These findings highlight effectiveness practices, like in mitigating stress fostering beneficial Combining these methods proved most effective enhancing health, offering insights sustainable environments.

Exogenous Application of Silica and Nano Silica Particles Improves Nutrient Acquisition and Growth of Maize ( Zea Mays L.) Under Saline and Water Deficit Conditions

Communications in Soil Science and Plant Analysis, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: unknown, P. 1 - 17

Published: March 23, 2025

Crop growth and production are limited by various environmental stresses, of which salinity drought the major abiotic stresses worldwide. This research was conducted to compare ameliorating effects silica nano on maize for enhancing growth, photosynthetic efficiency, antioxidant activity, nutrient acquisition under saline irrigation deficit water conditions. Ionic homeostasis ion translocation were determined examine response mechanisms plants exogenous fertilization. The results showed beneficial (50 mg kg−1 each) in improving plant vigor stress environments. Silica increased height 37%, leaf area 68%, fresh dry weights 37% 178%, respectively, while there no significant difference between them. They also enhanced enzymatic contents decreased electrolyte leakage implying sodium toxicity tissues. As compared silica, proved better most parameters examined. In addition, application concentrations carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus 57%, 35%, 34%, Ca2+ Mg2+ from root stem limiting Na+ translocation. Compared exhibited slightly higher values. Our findings suggest that combined can be minimized soil applied especially fertilizer crops grain yields.

A pot experiment was conducted at the Central Farm of Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Dhaka, from September to December 2021, assess effects varying salt stress levels on growth and yield three okra genotypes: Super Shomy (V₁), BARI Dherosh-2 (V₂), Green Finger (V₃). Four salinity treatments were applied: T₀ (control), T₁ (100 mM), T₂ (70 T₃ (40 with exposure starting 30 days after planting. The results revealed significant variations in among genotypes. highest plant height (68.59 cm), leaf number (8.92), length (9.98 width (12.90 area (128.66 cm²), branches (2.13) recorded control (T₀) (V₁). Conversely, lowest values for these parameters observed reduced 42.64 cm, 61.84 cm², other similarly diminished. Under high (T₁), V₁ (Super Shomy) exhibited superior performance compared V₂ V₃, maintaining (50.40 (7.47), (91 branch (1.93). Across all levels, also showed early flowering (29.83 DAS), fruiting (34.88 lower mortality (8.31%), higher fruit numbers (5.72), greater individual weight (12.68 g), maximum per (72.47 g). study demonstrated that increasing negatively impacts yield, most severe 100 mM (T₁). Among genotypes, (V₁) displayed tolerance, making it a promising candidate cultivation saline environments.

Agroindustrial By-Products as a Source of Biostimulants Enhancing Responses to Abiotic Stress of Horticultural Crops

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 25(6), P. 3525 - 3525

Published: March 20, 2024

Together with other abiotic stresses such as drought and high temperatures, salt stress is one of the most deleterious environmental factors affecting plant development productivity, causing significant crop yield reductions. The progressive secondary salinisation irrigated farmland a problem old agriculture but aggravated accelerated in current climate change scenario. Plant biostimulants, developed commercially during last decade, are now recognised innovative, sustainable agronomic tools for improving growth, yield, health tolerance to water soil salinity. Biostimulants disparate collection biological extracts, natural synthetic organic compounds or mixtures compounds, inorganic molecules microorganisms, defined by positive effects their application crops. growing interest biostimulants reflected increasing number scientific reports published on this topic recent years. However, processes triggered and, therefore, mechanisms action remain elusive represent an exciting research field. In review, we will mainly focus specific group protein hydrolysates, generally produced from agricultural wastes agroindustrial by-products—contributing, more use resources circular economy—and primarily consequences resistance horticultural We summarise data literature describing biostimulants’ basic, conserved activated response elevated salinity conditions, control ion transport homeostasis, accumulation osmolytes osmotic adjustment, activation enzymatic non-enzymatic antioxidant systems counteract induced oxidative stress. collected information confirms enhancing morphological, physiological biochemical responses, also highlights that work needed further establish molecular underlying effects.

Modeling Saline Water Supply for Irrigation of Tomatoes in Semi-Arid Conditions Using Hydrus-1D

Published: May 6, 2024

In arid and semi-arid regions like Tunisia, irrigation water is typically saline, posing a soil crop salinization risk yield reduction. This research aims to study the combined effects of matric osmotic potential stresses on tomato root uptake. Plants were grown in pot field experiments loamy-clay soils irrigated with three different qualities: 0, 3.5, 7 dS/m. The Hydrus-1D model was used simulate dynamics subsurface salts. Successful calibration validation against measured salt profiles enabled examination Relative yields, indirectly estimated from actual transpiration, indicated that multiplicative stress response effectively simulated yields impact saline yields. gradual zone further evidenced this effect. scenario considering temperature increase 2&deg;C had no significant experiments.
