The effect of plant-derived humic acid (PDHA) and coal-derived humic acid (CDHA) on wheat growth was tested on two alkaline calcareous soils in pots. Humic acid derived from plant and coal materials was applied at the rate 0 (control), 50 and 100 kg/ha to wheat in pots carrying two soils viz. clayey loam soil and sandy loam soil separately. Data was collected on plant growth parameters such as spike weight, grain and straw weight, and plant nutrients (macronutrients and micronutrients). Results showed that spike weight increased by 19%, 15%, and 26%, and 11% with application of PDHA at the rate of 50 and 100 mg/kg in clayey loam and sandy loam soil, respectively. Grain yield show an increase of 21% and 11% over control with application of PDHA and CDHA at the rate of 50 mg/kg on both soils, respectively, and 10% and 22% with application of PDHA and CDHA at the rate of 100 mg/kg on both soils.

Silicon spray affect floricultural traits and leaf elemental nutrient concentrations of Rose 'Beverly Watson'

Elmira Jalilzadeh Khoie, Zohreh Jabbarzadeh, Parviz Norouzi, Mohsen Barin, Maryam Razavi

Summary: This study investigated the impact of silicon on plant traits of rose plants and found that silicon treatment can improve flowering stem length and diameter, petal thickness, flower weight, and delay flower senescence. Foliar application of silicon also increased leaf content of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, and silicon.

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.

Effects of peat based substrate combinations on mineral nutrition, growth and yield of tomato

Ibrahim Erdal, Hakan Aktas, Cennet Yaylaci, Sevkiye Armagan Turkan, Gulnur Aydin, Yunus Hor

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.

Biosolubilized zinc from ZnO in bacterial culture supernatant enhanced seed germination, early growth, and zinc accumulation in rice (Oryza sativa L.) under hydroponic system through seed priming method

Kiron Bhakat, Ekramul Islam, Samir Kumar Mukherjee

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.
