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.

The use of biostimulants as a key to sustainable hydroponic lettuce farming under saline water stress

BMC Plant Biology, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 24(1)

Опубликована: Авг. 28, 2024

The utilization of high-quality water in agriculture is increasingly constrained by climate change, affecting availability, quality, and distribution due to altered precipitation patterns, increased evaporation, extreme weather events, rising salinity levels. Salinity significantly challenges salt-sensitive vegetables like lettuce, particularly a greenhouse. Hydroponics quality ensures nutrient solution stability, enhances uptake, prevents contamination, regulates pH electrical conductivity, maintains system components. This study aimed mitigate salt-induced damage lettuce grown via the floating culture method under 50 mM NaCl applying biostimulants.

A comparative study of fresh and residual biochar effects on wheat growth and yield metrics

EURASIAN JOURNAL OF SOIL SCIENCE (EJSS), Год журнала: 2025, Номер 14(2), С. 158 - 177

Опубликована: Март 26, 2025

Biochar is a highly stable carbon compound produced through pyrolysis, and it has been widely studied for its potential to enhance soil fertility sequestration. However, the impact of fresh residual biochar not thoroughly explored. Therefore, comparative study on were conducted at filed conditions wheat cultivation, using randomized block design. A (S1), previous season crop (S2) two old (S3) with nine different treatments varied amounts rice husk straw along fertilizers (recommended doses N, P, K) considered in triplicate. Result clearly indicates that application significantly improved plant height, leaf area, dry biomass plant, internodal length, node & internode diameter, as well biological yield, grain yield crop. S1 had most significant growth yield-attributing characteristics compared S2 S3, even higher doses. In S1, results observed rate 5 tons/ha, while showed maximum 10 tons/ha. highest was recorded dose 15 The present findings conclusively efficiency agricultural production succeeding

Assessing the synergistic effects of biochar, hydrogel and biofertilizer on growth and physiological traits of wheat in saline environments

Functional Plant Biology, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 52(4)

Опубликована: Апрель 10, 2025

Soil salinity affects plant growth and crop yield. This warrants the urgent need for sustainable management. Our research aims to assess impact of hydrogel, biochar biofertilizer on wheat physiology, yield, soil nutrients enzymes. The study was carried out at dry bed Aral Sea. experimental design included biochar, (Yer malxami includes Azotobacter chroococcum, Pseudomonas putida Bacillus subtilis) control treatments. After 60 days sowing, metrics, physiological qualities, root morphological features, enzyme activities were measured. findings revealed significant improvement in following biofertilizer, hydrogel Applying resulted a notable increase total length by 69.9%, volume 123.7% diameter 84.6%, highest chlorophyll (Chl a) 13.3%, b 13.7% b) content 13.1% compared other Biofertilizer treatment significantly enhanced nitrogen (N) 16.0%, phosphorus (P) 94.7% potassium (K) 51.8%, increased enzymes such as catalase invertase. implementation these amendments can be posited mitigate deleterious effects saline conditions improve under stress.

Drought Stress in Quinoa: Effects, Responsive Mechanisms, and Management through Biochar Amended Soil: A Review

Agriculture, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 14(8), С. 1418 - 1418

Опубликована: Авг. 21, 2024

Chenopodium quinoa Willd. (quinoa), a highly nutritious pseudocereal, is promising crop to address global food insecurity challenges intensified by population growth and climate change. However, drought stress remains significant constraint for cultivation. The plant exhibits several morphophysiological adaptations water conditions, including root system modifications, reduced rate, leaf abscission, stomatal closure. While these enhance tolerance, they can also negatively impact growth, potentially through alterations in architecture, physiological changes, e.g., regulations, anatomical changes. Different studies have suggested that soil amendment with biochar, pyrolyzed organic material, improve productivity under conditions. Biochar application the significantly enhances physiochemical characteristics maintains status, thereby promoting mitigating negative consequences of on production. This review focuses current understanding behavior potential biochar as management strategy. We summarize existing research applying biochar-amended alleviate stress.
