Biochar is a carbonic recalcitrant product of biomass which produced by pyrolysis process. In fact, biochar application has the potential to improve soil properties and crop productivity for long term scenarios compared many other organic amendments. this review we have tried explore role in modification (physical, chemical biological), relevant effects these changes on its future prospects challenges considering existing literature. Addition as amendment significantly influenced physical,...
Drought is the main abiotic stress that severely reduces wheat yield across globe. To cope up this situation, use of organic amendments best option. Biochar an soil amendment used to improve carbon, contents, water holding capacity soil, enhance fertility and maintain desired soil. Present study was carried out under semi-arid climatic conditions mitigate adverse effects drought at critical growth stages i.e., tillering (DTS), flowering (DFS) grain filling stage (DGFS) by using three biochar...
Globally, overuse of nitrogen (N) fertilizers in croplands is causing severe environmental pollution. In this context, Gu et al. suggest environmentally friendly and cost-effective N management practices Hamani highlight the use microbial inoculants to improve crop yields, while reducing N-associated pollution N-fertilizer use.
Potato is an important vegetable; however, salt stress drastically affects its growth and yield. A pot experiment was therefore conducted to assess salicylic acid efficacy in improving performance of potato cultivars, grown under (50 mmol L-1 ). Salicylic at 0.5 sprayed on plants after 1 week salinity application.Salt effects were ameliorated by effectively both the studied cultivars. N-Y LARA proved more responsive application than 720-110 NARC, which confirmed genetic variation between...
Abstract Quinoa performance reduces under water‐limited conditions and can be improved through exogenous application of stress signalling molecule such as hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O ). This study was conducted to elucidate the role H in quinoa at two water regimes maintained full irrigated 100% field capacity ( FC ~28% soil volumetric contents; SVWC ) 60% (~17% drought stress. Hydrogen concentrations, that is 80 m for seed priming 15 foliar spray, were used from our preliminary experiments....
Abstract Climate change‐induced concurrent drought and salinity stresses significantly threaten global crop yields, yet the physio‐biochemical responses to combined stress in quinoa remain elusive. This study evaluated under four growth conditions: well‐watered, stress, salt + with (15 mM) or without (0 exogenous hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O ) application. All examined (alone combination) reduce net photosynthesis, although was found be less destructive than stress. Strikingly, superoxide...
Abstract Quinoa is gaining importance on global scale due to its excellent nutritious profile and environmental stress‐enduring potential. Its production decreases under high salt stress but can be improved with paclobutrazol application. This study showed involvement of some potential protective mechanisms in root leaf tissues quinoa plants treated ( PBZ ) against salinity. The treatment levels were based preliminary experiments, it was found that (400 m NaCl) markedly reduced growth...
Climate change is imposing high temperature resulting in prolonged drought episodes and shrinking of fresh water resources across the globe. In this scenario, even tolerant crops like quinoa are also losing significant yield. However, study was planned to investigate impact on at critical growth stages bacterial inoculation improve tolerance. Drought imposed by maintaining 25% pot holding capacity (PWC) multiple leaf, flowering, seed filling stage (DSFS), while 80% PWC considered as control....
Organic and conventional farms often coexist, yet their proximity does not ensure compatibility. Larsen et al. reveal that being surrounded by organic fields reduces pesticide usage in but increases it fields. We discuss these findings, emphasizing the need to cluster croplands for reduced use.
Recent global warming has increased the risk of heat stress which may adversely affect crop productivity worldwide. Higher temperature during reproductive stage is one major constraint that affects grain filling and seed setting in spring maize (Zea mays L.) The purpose this study was to evaluate potential different elicitors (salicylic acid, CaCl2, Moringa oleifera Lam. leaf extract) improve yield performance stressed maize. Seed priming techniques (hydropriming, osmopriming, organic...
Water scarcity constrains global cotton production. However, partial root-zone drying (PRD) and mulching can be used as good techniques to save water enhance crop production, especially in arid regions. This study aimed evaluate the effects of for conservation an environment under PRD further assess osmotic adjustment enzymatic activities sustainable The was carried out 2 years field conditions using mulches (NM = no mulch, BPM black plastic mulch at 32 kg ha-1, WSM wheat straw 3 tons CSM...
Plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) and silicon (Si) are known for alleviating abiotic stresses in crop plants. In this study, Bacillus drentensis Enterobacter cloacae strains of PGPR foliar application Si were tested regulating the antioxidant metabolism nutrient uptake on grain yield mung bean under irrigation saline water (3.12 7.81 dS m-1). Bacterial inoculation supplemental (1 2 kg ha-1) reduced salinity-induced oxidative stress leaves. The improved salt tolerance was achieved...
Salinity extent and severity is rising because of poor management practices on agricultural lands, possibility lies to grow salt-tolerant crops with better techniques. Therefore, a highly nutritive crop quinoa immense potential contribute for future food security was selected this investigation. Soil drenching paclobutrazol (PBZ; 20 mg l-1 ) used understand the ionic relations, gaseous exchange characteristics, oxidative defense system yield under saline conditions (400 mM NaCl) including...
