Improving crop productivity in drought-stressed and salt-affected regions is the key to
promoting sustainable agriculture. Silicon is considered to improve the stress tolerance of …

The deficit irrigation offers water savings potential that is becoming popular in arid and semi-
arid regions reducing freshwater use over time. A two-year factorial experiment was …

The long-term use of chemical fertilizers poses a serious threat to crop productivity and soil
quality. Organic fertilizers are used to improve the soil fertility and crop productivity. The …

Agricultural crops including tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) are severely affected by
drought, which is a critical abiotic stress. Biostimulants, such as Ascophyllum nodosum …

Since silicon regulates plant physiological and biochemical processes, it was hypothesized
that foliar silicon application could contribute to improving the quality of new potatoes. This …

Intelligent fertigation is a sustainable solution for optimising water and fertiliser input, thus
minimising environmental pollution in vegetable cultivation facilities and reducing labour …

Drought stress can markedly reduce plant growth and development, leading to considerable
yield losses in sweet basil (Ocimum basilicum L.). Individual application of silicon (Si) and …

Drought stress has become a highly detrimental environmental factor that poses significant
threats to sustainable cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) production necessitating the …

Silicon (Si) could contribute to the stability of photosystem II processes and gas exchange.
Moreover, it can increase antioxidant enzyme activity, maintaining the growth of Eugenia …

Salt stress is a major abiotic factor limiting plant growth worldwide, particularly in arid and
semiarid regions where excessive groundwater use in irrigation leads to high salt …
