Cu-nanoparticles enhance the sustainable growth and yield of drought-subjected wheat through physiological progress.

Drought stress (DS) is a significant abiotic stress that limits agricultural productivity worldwide. In semi-arid climates, one potential solution to alleviate the deleterious effects of drought is the use of soil amendments such as nanoparticles. The current research was conducted out to probe the sway of drought at critical growth stages (CGS) of wheat crop (D: Control, D: Drought at tillering stage, and D: Drought at anthesis stage) and the application of Cu-nanoparticles (T: 0 mg L, T: 300 mg L, T: 700 mg L, and T: 950 mg L) in order to improve drought resilience.

The impact of biochar addition on morpho-physiological characteristics, yield and water use efficiency of tomato plants under drought and salinity stress.

The use of saline water under drought conditions is critical for sustainable agricultural development in arid regions. Biochar is used as a soil amendment to enhance soil properties such as water-holding capacity and the source of nutrition elements of plants. Thus, the research was carried out to assess the impact of biochar treatment on the morphological and physiological characteristics and production of Solanum lycopersicum in greenhouses exposed to drought and saline stresses.

Effects of Pea ( L.) Cultivars for Mixed Cropping with Oats ( L.) on Yield and Competition Indices in an Organic Production System.

The benefits of cereal-legume mixed cropping is a sustainable agricultural practice. However, knowledge of the genotypic differences of semi-leafless pea varieties is not enough to help them compete with cereals. In this study, the effects of Lithuania's newest Pisum sativum cultivars ('Egle DS' and 'Lina DS') and, for comparison, a control cultivar ('Jūra DS') established with in mixed cropping system were investigated.

Optimizing the Growth Conditions of the Selected Plant-Growth-Promoting Rhizobacteria sp. MVY-024 for Industrial Scale Production.

In this study, thirteen isolates, which were possibly expected to fix nitrogen, were isolated from soil and pea root nodules and identified by the gene analysis of 16S rDNA sequences. Two of these isolates that were able to form endospores and grow on nitrogen-free media were selected for spring wheat development research. The isolate sp.

Soil Nitrate Nitrogen Content and Grain Yields of Organically Grown Cereals as Affected by a Strip Tillage and Forage Legume Intercropping.

Reducing tillage intensity and increasing crop diversity by including perennial legumes is an agrotechnical practice that strongly affects the soil environment. Strip tillage may be beneficial in the forage legume-cereals intercropping system due to more efficient utilization of biological nitrogen. Field experiments were conducted on a clay loam Cambisol to determine the effect of forage legume-winter wheat strip tillage intercropping on soil nitrate nitrogen (N-NO) content and cereal productivity in various sequences of rotation in organic production systems.
