In Poland nearly 40% of land under agricultural use is characterised by a progressing deficit of copper available to plants. Inventory studies revealed that 25% of rapeseed plantations are undernourished with this component. The objective of the study was to estimate the yield-forming effects of foliar and soil fertilisation of rapeseed with copper, to identify the optimum dose of Cu for the cr...

Rapid assessment tools are required for monitoring crop nutrient status and managing fertiliser applications in real time. Hyperspectral imaging has emerged as a promising tool to manage nutrition. This study aimed determine the potential of hyperspectral predicting foliar concentrations avocado trees establish whether different sides leaves affects prediction accuracy. images (400–1000 nm) wer...

Abstract Foliar fertilization is one of the crucial ways for continued cultivation date palm, obtaining best results growth and production, in addition to possibility reduce damage from abiotic stress. Although subjected palm an annual program, it faces some challenges, including low soil availability nutrients, dryness surface, root activity breeding period, alkalinity, as well water scarcity ...

Damask rose (Rosa damascena Mill.) is one of the most high-value essential oil-bearing plants in the world. However, the flower yield and quality of essential oil of R. damascena are largely influenced by the pruning practices and balanced supply of plant nutrition. The objective of this study was to test the hypothesis whether the pruning system and foliar fertilization of MgSO4 would influenc...

The application of nutrient solutions to the foliage plants is an alternative means fertilise crops. Foliar fertilisation used overcome disadvantages soil applications. Variable plant responses these foliar spray have often been described in literature. However, knowledge about penetration mechanisms, role a leaf-applied inorganic or organic solution, and results obtained by its still limited. ...

Predator activities may lead to the accumulation of nutrients in specific areas of terrestrial habitats where they dispose of prey carcasses. In their feeding sites, predators may increase nutrient availability in the soil and favor plant nutrition and growth. However, the translocation of nutrients from one habitat to another may depend on predator identity and diet, as well as on the amount o...
