Improving Peach Fruit Yield and Quality Using Foliar Application of Nano Chelated Zinc and Seaweed Extract (Spirulina platensis): A Multivariate Analysis Approach

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 5, May 2026.
The combined application of nano‐zinc and Spirulina extract enhances peach yield, fruit firmness, and nutritional quality. An optimal treatment significantly improves fruit set (+107.5%), TSS, and vitamin C content. ABSTRACT The twenty‐seven identical peach trees were exposed to different levels of a Nano Chelated fertilizer contain 12% Zn and ...

Hurdles to overcome to achieve biostimulant‐driven, low chemical input crop production

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 3, Page 783-791, May 2026.
Crop production requires considerable chemical inputs that result in significant greenhouse gas emissions and other environmental costs. Biostimulants are natural agents, such as microorganisms or seaweed, applied to plants and soil to stimulate plant growth and reduce chemical inputs. Biostimulant use is rapidly increasing globally, but hurdles remain,

Conservation and restoration of red seaweed eucheumatoids in Malaysia: A community insight

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 5, May 2026.
The local community in Malaysia has a moderate level of knowledge of seaweed conservation and restoration but demonstrates a strong commitment in improving their knowledge gap. One of the efforts to increase local community awareness and understanding of the importance of wild seaweed is by linking the economic benefits derived from the seaweed ...

Stochastic Forces in Microbial Community Assembly: Founding Community Size Governs Divergent Ecological Trajectories

Ecology Letters, Volume 29, Issue 5, May 2026.
The processes driving community assembly are broadly categorised into deterministic and stochastic ones. With a multi‐replicated experimental design, we quantified the extent to which stochasticity at initial stages of community assembly could drive divergence into alternative ecological trajectories.

Effects of Amino Acid Priming Applications Enhances Salt Tolerance in Safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.)

Journal of Agronomy and Crop Science, Volume 212, Issue 3, May 2026.
ABSTRACT This study was conducted to determine the effects of priming safflower cultivar (Askon 42) with various doses (0, 5, 10, 15 mM) of 3 different amino acids (methionine, lysine, tyrosine) against salt stress (0, 50, 100, 150 mM) in terms of investigated parameters.

Untargeted Metabolomics Coupled With Machine Learning Unravels Crop‐Specific Versus Generalized Effects of Biostimulants in Cucumber, Pepper, and Tomato

Physiologia Plantarum, Volume 178, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
ABSTRACT In recent years, agricultural practices have shifted toward sustainability, aiming to reduce the use of agrochemicals and rely more on bio‐based solutions. However, the effectiveness of these latter suffers from inconsistency. Understanding how different crops respond to biostimulants, instead of referring to a specific trial or crop, is a ...

Endophytic Biostimulant Pyrroloquinoline Quinone Enhances Banana Growth and Primes Immunity Against Fusarium Wilt

Physiologia Plantarum, Volume 178, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
ABSTRACT Pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ) is a redox cofactor derived from prokaryotes that participates in various biological processes involving dehydrogenase enzymes. Previous field trials identified a PQQ‐producing endophyte, Burkholderia seminalis 869T2, which enhances banana growth and reduces Fusarium wilt incidence from 24.5% to 3.4%.

Can biostimulant usage with farmyard manure provide a higher carbon level in low-quality, conventionally managed croplands?

Case Studies in Chemical and Environmental Engineering
The excessive use of mineral fertilizer and other conventional cultivation management practices causes decreased soil health and accelerated soil degradation in agricultural landscapes.
