Synergistic Integration of Metribuzin and Bio-Organic Fertilizers for Enhanced Black Nightshade Weed Control and Rhizosphere Remediation in Potato Crops

Biochar-Loaded Purpureocillium lilacinum Formulation Enhances Soil Water Retention, Drought Tolerance, and Essential Oil Productivity of Spearmint (Mentha spicata L.)

: Water deficit severely constrains the productivity and essential oil yield of medicinal and aromatic crops grown in sandy soils. This study assessed whether a biochar-loaded Purpureocillium lilacinum formulation could improve soil properties, drought tolerance, growth, mineral nutrition, soil biological activity, and...

Utilization of Innovative Mycorrhiza as a Growth Enhancer for Food and Horticultural Crops under Tropical Agroclimatic Conditions

SEAMEO BIOTROP is continuously fostering biodiversity-based innovations through the development of innovative mycorrhizal products as biological ameliorants to support sustainable agricultural systems in tropical regions. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of BIORISA mycorrhiza in enhancing the growth of fo...

EFFECT OF BIODEPOSIT ELIXIR ORGANIC FERTILIZER ON THE AGRONOMIC AND ECONOMIC PERFORMANCE OF TWO TOMATO VARIETIES (SOLANUM LYCOPERSICUM L.) GROWN UNDER FIELD CONDITIONS

Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) production requires sustainable fertilization practices to improve productivity while reducing dependence on synthetic fertilizers. This study evaluated the effects of different BioDeposit Elixir organic fertilizer application rates on the agronomic and economic performance of two tomat...

Weed Growth, Phytosociology and Soil Microbial Activity in Direct-Seeded Rice (Oryza Sativa L.) Under Sole and Sequential Application of Herbicide and Mulching

Synergistic potential of yeast, seaweed, and green tea extracts for reducing the application of NPK fertilizers in Duranta repens L. fertilization

Introduction Fertilization is essential for the cultivation of ornamental and medicinal shrubs, but excessive application of chemical fertilizers contributes to environmental pollution and may adversely affect human health and beneficial soil microorganisms. Natural biostimulants such as active dry yeast (ADY), seaweed...

Humic substances might mitigate negative effects of pyroxsulam and 2,4-D herbicides on wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) productivity.

Ensuring food security requires enhancing agricultural productivity while implementing sustainable practices to minimize environmental impact and conserve resources. Biostimulants have emerged as an effective means to promote plant growth and improve resilience to stress. This study aimed to evaluate whether combining...
