Vegetable plants are more sensitive to salt stress during the early growth stages; hence, availability of poor-quality brackish water can be a big issue for nursery vegetable industry. Microbial biostimulants promote and vigor counterbalance in mature plants. This study aimed evaluate application plant growth-promoting microorganisms improving tolerance lettuce tomato seedlings irrigated with d...

The study was conducted as open field trial, with irrigation, the Clery strawberry variety. aim of to investigate effect foliar application on berry and seaweed extract yield quality fruit (sugar, acid anthocyanin content). experiment set up by random block system in 4 repetitions. following treatments were applied crop: 1. control, 2. conventional NPK fertilization (10-52-10), 3. 30% reduced f...

Abstract Purpose Use of spent coffee grounds (SCG) in horticulture has deleterious effects on plant health and yields, suggesting that processing SCG is necessary prior to field application. To this end, two products an based biorefinery were investigated: primary chars from the hydrothermal carbonisation (HTC) enzymatic protein hydrolysates. Methods Primary produced under various HTC regimes r...

Reclamation of oil and gas disturbed soils is challenging due to diminished function (i.e., soil physical, chemical, biological properties) from the loss organic carbon (SOC) potential mixing topsoil subsoil. Biostimulants are agro-products applied improve SOC formation, microbial nutrient cycling, crop yields, suggesting their use in reclaiming soils. However, studies on ability biostimulants ...

The aim of the study was to determine effect mechanical and chemical treatments with application biostimulants on effectiveness weed infestation reduction potato yielding. A three-year field research conducted at Agricultural Experimental Station Zawady (52°03? N; 22°33? E). experiment set up in a split-plot design three replicates. first factor two edible cultivars, second five methods biostim...

Heat waves and drought stress are typical aspects of current climate change, significantly affecting the grapevine physiology in many world growing areas. Biostimulants can play an important role reducing negative effects change; that’s why this experiment was set up order to test two new foliar biostimulants (protein hydrolysates plant origin). The field carried out 2017 2018 Oltrepo pavese ar...

Algae have been used in agriculture as fertilizers for a long time. Recently, they also applied to crops biostimulants that target plant growth promotion and tolerance biotic (herbivores, fungi, bacteria, viruses) or abiotic stresses. In addition, algae contain bioactive compounds shown maintain the health of domestic animals aquaculture species. This opinion piece highlights different aspects ...
