Impact of Seed Dressing and Soil Application of Potassium Humate on Cotton Plants Productivity and Fiber Quality. [PDF]

Plants (Basel), 2020
Humus is the stable form of added crop and animal residues. The organic matter after a long-term decomposition process converts into humic substances. The naturally occurring humus is present in less amount in soils of the arid and semi-arid regions. The

Preventative Approach to Microbial Control of Capnodis tenebrionis by Soil Application of Metarhizium brunneum and Beauveria bassiana [PDF]

Insects, 2020
Management of the Mediterranean flat-headed root-borer, Capnodis tenebrionis, is critical due to the larvae’s root localization. Neonate larvae can be exposed to natural enemies before penetrating the roots. Application of Metarhizium brunneum strain Mb7

Zinc Uptake, Translocation, and Remobilization in Winter Wheat as Affected by Soil Application of Zn Fertilizer. [PDF]

Front Plant Sci, 2019
Effect of zinc (Zn) application to soil on root growth and Zn uptake and translocation in winter wheat are poorly understood. This study evaluated the effect of soil Zn fertilization (0, 2.3, 5.7, 11.4, 22.7, 34.1 kg of Zn ha−1) on root growth and ...

Soil and foliar zinc application techniques influence the productivity, zinc concentration, and protein content in the grains of bread wheat varieties

Acta Agrobotanica, 2023
Micronutrient zinc (Zn) is crucial for both humans and plants. To improve the micronutrient concentration in the grains of food crops, biofortification has already been established as one of the best approaches across the globe.

Assessing metal contamination and speciation in sewage sludge: implications for soil application and environmental risk

Reviews in Environmental Science and Bio\/technology, 2023
Based on the most recently published data, we definitively estimated that the annual global production of sewage sludge may rise from ~ 53 million tons dry solids currently to ~ 160 million tons if global wastewater were to be treated to a similar level ...
