Summary: Environmental contamination and excessive use of inorganic fertilizers have led to stagnant yields in field crops, necessitating a combined fertilization approach under changing climatic conditions. This study aimed to investigate the effects of different fertilizer sources on the yield and quality of coriander. The results showed that fertilizer sources significantly influenced coriander yield, with specific varieties showing consistent interactions with fertilizer types. Erbaa variety performed the best in terms of essential oil yield, essential oil content, harvest index, seed yield, and biological yield under chemical fertilizer treatment.

Summary: Five essential oil hemp cultivars were treated with various synthetic fertilizer rates and irrigation electrical conductivity to quantify their effects on plant growth, biomass accumulation, and cannabinoid profiles. Results showed significant variations in plant growth and cannabinoid concentrations among cultivars, with optimal fertilizer rates observed at 50 ppm N. Increased fertilizer rates (>300 ppm N) resulted in compliant THC levels but decreased plant growth and cannabinoid yields. CBD concentration demonstrated higher sensitivity to increased fertilizer rates compared to THC and CBG.

Summary: The study analyzed the volatile oil produced through steam distillation of lavender to establish the essential oil yield and aromatic profile from different parts of the plant. The essential oils from the corolla, calyx, leaf, and whole flowering top were analyzed and found to contain similar compounds but in varying relative percentages. The aromatic profiles of the different plant parts provide insight into the influence of the corolla, calyx, and leaf on the overall aromatic profile of the lavender essential oil.

Summary: The aim of this study was to explore alternatives to mineral nitrogen fertilization in fennel cultivation to prevent harmful accumulation of nitrogen in edible parts. Two biostimulants, Spirulina platensis algae extract (SP) and compost tea (CT), were applied with partial doses of recommended nitrogen fertilizer. The results showed that SP coupled with 75% of nitrogen dose significantly improved vegetative parameters and yield components, while CT combined with 75% of nitrogen dose enhanced photosynthetic pigments and total soluble carbohydrate. It is concluded that using SP and CT with 75% of the recommended nitrogen fertilizer dose can be recommended for cost-effective fennel production.

Summary: A three-year study investigated the effects of biochar, organic fertilizer, and microorganisms on soil properties. Biochar increased soil pH, while the application of organic fertilizer with microorganisms resulted in the highest phosphorus concentration. The combination of biochar and organic fertilizer led to the highest potassium content, while organic fertilizer alone and organic fertilizer with microorganisms favored magnesium accumulation. All fertilization combinations increased boron and copper levels. Iron accumulation was promoted by organic fertilizer alone and with microorganisms. Manganese content was highest with biochar and organic fertilizer. Sodium content was highest with organic fertilizer, and zinc content was highest with biochar and organic fertilizer. Biochar with microorganisms and organic fertilizer enhanced carbon and organic matter content. Overall, the study highlights the positive impact of biochar, organic fertilization, and their combination on soil quality.

Summary: Cattle rearing can benefit from the environmental support of native wetlands by establishing and managing units suitable for raising Sistani cattle in Iran. This can improve food security, economic and social development, and contribute to the protection of the region. The study found that the Sistani breed had higher yields and economic benefits in a semi-intensive production system. However, the long-term sustainability of Sistani cattle raising is at risk due to factors such as declining rainfall and water allocation decisions.
