Strategies for Enhancing Resilience in Horticultural Crops Against Combined Abiotic Stresses
ABSTRACT Horticultural crops are increasingly exposed to simultaneous abiotic stresses such as drought, salinity, and temperature extremes, which often exacerbate each other's effects, leading to severe yield and quality losses. Addressing these multifaceted challenges necessitates the development and application of integrated and innovative strategies.

Abstract In this study, a polyamide warp‐knitted fabric was treated with a graphene oxide (GO) aqueous dispersion using a laboratory‐type Jigger dyeing machine. Subsequently, the GO underwent a chemical reduction process, employing rosehip extract powder as a nature‐based reducing agent. The effect of reduction time (12 and 24 h) was investigated.

Soil inoculation with nitrogen‐fixing bacteria to supplement maize fertilizer need
Abstract Nitrogen (N) is an essential plant nutrient, but low and variable plant‐available N levels in agricultural soils often limit maximum grain production. The objective of this study was to determine if a free‐living nitrogen‐fixing bacterial inoculant (NFI) could supply biologically‐fixed N as an additional N source and if this enhances maize ...

Efficacy of Organic Soil Conditioners for Barley (Hordeum vulgare) Production in Arid Regions
Introduction Barley cultivation in arid regions can be enhanced through deficit irrigation, which reduces water usage while minimizing yield loss. This method maximizes water‐use efficiency, making barley suitable for areas with limited water resources. Objective. To evaluate the effects of different soil amendments on improving barley production under
