Soil salinity is a serious problem facing many countries globally, especially those with semi-arid and arid climates. can have negative influences on soil microbial activity as well chemical physical processes, all of which are crucial for health, fertility, productivity. negatively affect physiological, biochemical, genetic attributes cultivated plants well. Plants wide variety responses to stress classified sensitive (e.g., carrot strawberry), moderately (grapevine), tolerant (wheat)...

To evaluate the influence of drought stress on soybean physiology, a controlled-environment experiment was conducted at Institute Plant Sciences, University Debrecen, Hungary. Two cultivars, ES Mentor and Pedro, were subjected to four different levels water deficiency elaborated by polyethylene glycol (PEG) concentrations; 2.5, 5, 7.5 10 % starting from post-germination phase. The measurements made stages; second node (V2), fourth (V4), full bloom (R2) pod (R4). plants could not survive...

Water deficits, exacerbated by climate change and unpredictable weather, have become a significant global challenge to agricultural productivity. In this context, exogenous melatonin treatment is well documented as stress alleviator; however, its effects on various biological processes, particularly in less-explored genotypes, remain understudied. This study aimed enhance water deficit resilience sweet corn applying foliar four genotypes-Messenger, Dessert, Royalty, Tyson under two levels of...

Abstract Sweet corn is highly susceptible to water deprivation, making it crucial identify effective strategies for enhancing its tolerance deficit conditions. This study investigates the novel application of Spermine as a bio-stimulant improve sweet ( Zea mays L. var. saccharata ) resilience under hydroponic Four genotypes (Dessert, Messenger, Tyson, and Royalty) were treated with (0.2 mM foliar application), polyethylene glycol 6000 (8% 12%), their combinations. The impacts on growth...

An alternative method of plant nutrition involves the utilization different by-products. In this study, a combination two by-products was applied to investigate method: fermented deproteinized alfalfa juice (FDAJ), by-product leaf protein production, and fly ash filtrate from wood-fired power plant. A pot experiment conducted with winter wheat in an open-sided greenhouse sandy soil. The aim evaluate efficacy usability these (SFDAJ) for enhanced via spraying or irrigation. Prior...

Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench is an increasingly important crop grown in many countries as a food source due to its excellent nutritional value, drought and pest resistance, gluten-free properties. In this study, the bioactive profiles antioxidant potentials of brans six sorghum varieties were evaluated using spectrophotometric methods. The effects weather environmental conditions different nitrogen nutrition also evaluated. bran red contained higher amount polyphenols tannins exhibited...

Application of various alternative nutrient supplies can partly be substituted by chemical fertilizers, resulting in economical use with less environmental strains. Biofertilizers containing living microorganisms promote nutrition uptake, but still there are questions regarding their application under stress conditions. One the main abiotic factors that induce is contamination soils toxic elements. In course intensive plant-growth conditions, considerable quantities basic cations removed...

As a result of global climatic changes, water deficiency is threatening food production for the increasing population worldwide, especially drought-sensitive crops, to which soybean belongs, by suppressing yield potentials. Drought stress can inhibit sown seeds’ germination and manipulate parameters. A controlled, two-stage experiment was conducted investigate effects drought stress, induced PEG (polyethylene glycol), on some parameters two cultivars; ‘ES Mentor’ ‘Pedro’, in Debrecen,...

The global production of soybean, among other drought-susceptible crops, is reportedly affected by drought periods, putting more pressure on food worldwide. Drought alters plants' morphology, physiology and biochemistry. As a response to drought, reactive oxygen species (ROS) concentrations are elevated, causing cellular damage. However, lower ROS were reported have an alleviating role through up-regulating various defensive mechanisms different levels in drought-stressed plants. This...

In modern agriculture, besides providing high and stable yields, it is imperative to produce products with a nutritive quality. The goal of this study was determine the effect different fertilization regimes on macro- micronutrients in beetroot. A 3-year field trial set up according Latin square method four types (unfertilized control, 50 t manure ha−1, 500 1,000 kg NPK 5-20-30 ha−1). mineral content determined as follows (mg 100 g−1 fresh weight beetroot): 14–29 P, 189–354 K, 18–34 Ca,...

Two submerged Elodea species have small differences in their ecophysiological responses when exposed to individual environmental factors. However, field observations showed that under eutrophic conditions with low light availability, canadensis could be displaced by nuttallii. Here we investigated the combined effect of factors on response two order explain invasion successes. We cultivated plants aquaria containing five different nitrogen (N) concentrations and incubated at intensities. For...

Abstract Background and Aims Wet processed alfalfa-based products can provide high-quality concentrated protein, also contain nutrients phytochemicals. Agronomic fortification increase selenium (Se) incorporation into green biomass. For this reason, the aim was to investigate how different forms of Se are incorporated biomass multiple-harvest alfalfa they affect chemical quality product candidates. Methods In research, enriched with three at concentrations [selenate (Se(VI)); selenite...

The photosynthetic pigments and photochemical efficiency of photosystem 2 (PS2) were studied in four constitutive species (Achillea millefolium L., Festuca pseudovina Hack. ex Wiesb., Potentilla arenaria Borkh., Thymus degenianus Lyka) a semiarid grassland South-eastern Hungary. Every displayed typical sun-adapted traits substantial plasticity the composition functioning apparatus. contents chlorophylls (Chls) carotenoids (Cars) on dry matter basis declined from May to July, however, amount...

Th e present part of the series miscellaneous new records provides Radiola linoides reported for fi rst time from Zemplén Mts, and as a confi rmation occurrence species in Hungary.Partly sympatrically, Centunculus minimus is Mts with number localities.One invasive bryophyte Campylopus introfl exus newly Colocense Praematricum biogeographical regions Hungary an additional Somogy County mentioned.An introduced fungus, Clathrus archeri Ciuc largely expanding known area Romania to south.A...

Fertilization management is a key issue in plant nutrition to produce plants with good quality and quantity. Deproteinized leaf juice or brown (BJ) by-product during the isolation of protein from biomass crops such as alfalfa. The idea using BJ biostimulant fits well aspect circular economy since currently problematic production approach. Fractionation one-kilogram fresh results approximately 500 cm3 BJ. Due fast spoil BJ, if left on room temperature, it found that fermentation lactic acid...

Ecophysiological investigations of Quercus petraea and cerris were performed at the Sikfőkút research site in dry humid growing seasons 2003 2004. The results suggested that leaf growth photosynthetic apparatus Q. exhibited higher sensitivity to drought than cerris. In leaves petraea, chlorophyll content showed larger inter-annual within-canopy variability those Fully developed Q lower SLM which indicated cell wall elasticity allowing them maintain a water spending strategy, while high...
