Maize Grain Yield and Quality Improvement Through Biostimulant Application: a Systematic Review

Journal of soil science and plant nutrition, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 24(2), С. 1609 - 1649

Опубликована: Март 11, 2024

Abstract Increasing the productivity of cereals such as maize while protecting environment remains a fundamental impetus healthy food production systems. The use biostimulants is one sustainable strategies to achieve this balance, although ability enhance varies. Moreover, research on efficacy ubiquitous with limited comprehensive global analysis. In context, systematic review evaluated sole and interactive effects yield quality grain from perspective. Changes in (t ha -1 ), protein content (%), starch (%) oil were assessed. Results revealed that combined application significantly improved yield. Irrespective region, highest lowest yields ranged between 16-20 t 1-5 , respectively. application, promising chicken feather (16.5 endophyte Colletotrichum tofieldiae (14.5 ). Sewage sludge × NPK (15.4 humic acid control release urea (12.4 Azospirillum brasilense or Bradyrhizobium japonicum hybrids (11.6 Rhizophagus intraradices earthworms (10.0 ) had higher for effects. minimal, all attributes range 0.1 3.7%. Overall, distinct improvement effect yield, rather than grain. As way maximising productivity, soil health, overall functioning crop agroecosystems, integrated synergistic microbial non-microbial could provide viable option. However, produce consistent major concern.

The continuous increase in prices for mineral fertilisers corn limits the use of fertilisers, which leads to search unconventional sources food elements, and particular, biological natural synthetic growth stimulators that are not harmful environment allow wider entire genetic potential corn. purpose study was examine influence various plant regulators on intensity photosynthesis, development, productivity ripeness groups steppe Ukraine. field scientific conducted according generally accepted methods research, followed by mathematical processing experimental data using variance analysis. An chlorophyll content identified when Avangard Grow Amino Humate preparations were applied compared Vympel 2 Alpha Nano 11.3-23.7%. grain from early-maturing hybrid DN Pivikha – 0.13-0.37 t/ha (2.7-7.7%), mediumearly Khortytsia 0.85-1.08 (16.6-18.5%), medium-maturing Julia 0.20- 0.22 (3.20-3.4%), medium-late Olena 0.05-0.53 (0.65-7.6%).

This study emphasizes the importance of seed quality in context yield formation. Based on research data, this paper role proper diagnosis seed-borne pathogens ensuring high and stable grain yields. Particular attention is paid to effect treatment mother plants with fullerenol-based nanopreparations qualitative characteristics spring barley seeds. The results showed that such contributes increase varietal purity, weight 1000 grains as well nutrient moisture reserves Phytopathological analysis confirmed presence various diseases Alternaria, helminthosporiosis, fusarium, mold mildew However, some samples a resistance pathogens, presumably due use carbon nanopreparations. These open new perspectives for development strategies improve disease through optimization.

The soils found in the Kharga oasis Egypt have been identified as having low levels of nitrogen and organic matter, along with high pH salinity. These conditions make it difficult for plants to absorb essential micronutrients. In order address this issue, a study was conducted main objective evaluating interactive effect potassium humate, zinc, fertilization on grain yield maize its various components. consisted two field experiments that took place during growing seasons 2022 2023 at research station Desert Research Center Kharga, located western desert Egypt. treatments involved three different humate zinc combinations, including 20 kg/ha 375 ppm combination both, which were compared control group. Additionally, four applied, ranging from 100 400 kg/ha. results revealed highest most significant yields observed both when applied together, resulting 10,436 10,590 first second seasons, respectively. Furthermore, achieved by applying 300 kg per hectare, 9423 9196 findings suggest proves be effective maximizing maize. This information is valuable farmers researchers oasis, provides insights into optimal practices can enhance crop productivity specific region challenging soil conditions.

Biostimulants are presented as a potential tool to achieve the main objectives of modern agriculture: increase crop yield and nutritional quality while reducing chemical fertilizer use. Here, we investigated use HS-based product (BLACKJAK®, from Sofbey S.A., Mendrisio, Switzerland) biostimulant enhance plant growth, nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K) efficiency, well antioxidant capacity. For this purpose, BLACKJAK® was applied lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) radicular (‘R’) foliar (‘F’) at doses: 0.20 mL/L (R1), 0.40 (R2), 0.60 (R3), 0.80 (R4), 5.00 (F1), 7.50 (F2), 10.00 (F3), 12.50 (F4), along with control. Shoot fresh weight (FW) dry (DW), leaf area, NPK efficiency parameters, capacity were evaluated. Our results showed that R1, R2, R3, F2, F3 enhanced shoot FW only R3 increased DW. Furthermore, in general, most doses employed parameters such apparent recovery, nutrient export, physiological internal utilization nutrients. Similarly, HS also ascorbate, glutathione, phenol concentrations, showing an improvement measured through FRAP (Ferric Reducing Antioxidant Power) TEAC (Trolox Equivalent Capacity) assays. Overall, root-HS offered better than foliar-HS, especially R3. Hence, our indicate could be good candidate productivity fertilizers.
