Summary: Six sweet cherry cultivars and two advanced selections of Gisela 5 rootstock were tested from 2015 to 2021. Different cultivars showed variations in growth vigor, trunk diameter, yield, fruit weight, and soluble solids content. The 'Regina', 'Sunburst', 'Irema BS', and 'Merchant' cultivars demonstrated high cumulative yield efficiency with respect to the trunk cross-section area. The advanced selection No. 102 performed similarly to 'Regina' in terms of yield, but had larger fruit weight and better quality.

Summary: New germplasms of cherry rootstocks overexpressing the recombinant gene PcMPK3-HA were obtained using Agrobacterium-mediated genetic transformation method. The overexpression of PcMPK3-HA enhanced the formation of adventitious roots and had a positive effect on root growth in tissue-cultured cherry rootstocks.

Summary: This study found that the tolerance of common clementine scion to nutrient deficiency can be improved by specific rootstock combinations, especially using Citrumelo 4475 (C/CM4x) and FlhorAG1 (C/FL4x). These combinations showed less foliar damage, fewer changes in photosynthetic processes, and better antioxidant systems.

Summary: In 2010, the NC-140 Regional Rootstock Research Project conducted high density sweet cherry orchard system trials across North America. The study found that tree vigor was more influenced by site and rootstock rather than canopy architecture, except for the SSA system. Yields per tree and cumulative yields were primarily influenced by the site-scion combination, rootstock, year, and canopy architecture/training system.

Summary: The study investigated the effects of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium deficiencies on macronutrient uptake in Prunus dulcis L. (bitter almond) and Prunus scoparia L. (Alook) seedlings. Results showed varying impacts on nutrient concentrations and growth characteristics, with Alook seedlings demonstrating better nutrient uptake and adaptability compared to bitter almond seedlings. Overall, Prunus scoparia rootstock is preferred for weak and non-fertile soils due to its lower susceptibility to nutrient deficiencies.

Summary: The combination of organic manure and inorganic fertilizer has varying effects on crop yield and nutrient efficiency depending on crop, soil, management, and climate conditions. A 6-year field experiment was conducted to evaluate the substitution of organic manure with different ratios of inorganic fertilizer on crop yield, grain protein content, and nitrogen and phosphorus efficiency in a winter wheat-summer maize cropping system on Anthrosol soil.

Summary: Optimizing fertilization is crucial for maximizing vegetable yield and quality while minimizing environmental hazards. This study found that reducing fertilizer application by 20-40% before each harvest can increase nutrient accumulation, stabilize yield, and improve quality in greenhouse pepper cultivation.

Summary: Eight vigor-limiting, standard, and vigorous Prunus rootstocks budded with 'Cresthaven' peach were planted at 10 locations in North America in spring 2017. During the first three years of establishment, significant differences among rootstocks and sites were found for survival, root suckers, tree growth, yield, fruit size, and yield efficiency.

Summary: Crop-weed interactions in nutrient-deficient environments can lead to strong competition for nutrients. This study examined the nutrient uptake of finger millet in the presence of the upland weed Guinea grass under nutrient-limited conditions. The results showed that the growth and nutrient uptake of finger millet were suppressed when co-existing with Guinea grass due to inter-specific competition. Guinea grass demonstrated its ability to outcompete other plants in nutrient-poor environments.

Summary: This study investigated the nutrient requirements and effects of fertilization on the soil properties and growth status of Erythropalum scandens seedlings through a series of pot experiments. The results revealed that E. scandens seedlings have a stronger sensitivity to nitrogen levels, and excessive fertilization can lead to soil acidification. Proper fertilization treatments can promote better growth status of the seedlings.

Summary: The effect of nitrogen splitting and different irrigation conditions on agronomic and physiological traits of corn was examined. Drought stress resulted in decreased yield, increased proline and abscisic acid contents. The Maxima cultivar exhibited higher resistance to drought stress. Single cross 704 cultivar showed better adaptability to drought stress and nitrogen deficiency.

Summary: The study examined the effects of growth media made of peat and different domestic materials on tomato nutrition, growth, and yield as an alternative to cocopeat in Turkiye. It was found that using vermicompost and its mixtures with peat as growth media resulted in the highest leaf and fruit nutrient concentrations. The highest fruit yields and biomass weights were obtained with solely peat and 1:1 peat + vermicompost medium. Peat-containing growth media, especially peat + vermicompost mixtures, can be used as alternatives to cocopeat in soilless tomato cultivation.

Summary: This study investigated the effectiveness of bacterially solubilized zinc (BSZn) on the early growth of rice plants and the concentration of zinc in the plant parts. The results showed that BSZn can promote seed germination and seedling growth, increase chlorophyll and carotenoid content, and enhance zinc accumulation in the roots of rice seedlings.
