Combined effect of biochar and seed priming on soil fertility and physio-biochemical traits of sweet corn (Zea mays L.) seedlings under drought stress

Combined Effect of Seed Priming and Organic Amendments on the Agronomic Output of Dry Direct-Seeded Winter Rice in Floodplain Soil of Bangladesh

Rice production in the floodplain ecosystems of Bangladesh is increasingly constrained by water scarcity and declining soil fertility, necessitating sustainable and efficient management practices. This study evaluated the effects of seed priming and organic amendments on the growth, yield, water use efficiency, and soi...

Effect of Different Soil Amendments on Growth, Yield, and Yield Components of Mung bean (Vigna radiata L.) Variety 08 Zudrus

This study was conducted from May–September 2025 / the 2025 growing season at the Research Farm of the Department of Agronomy, Faculty of Agriculture, Kabul University, to evaluate the effects of organic and inorganic fertilizers on the growth, yield, and yield components of mung bean (Vigna radiata L.) variety 08 Zudr...

Soil Physical and Chemical Properties and Productivity of Four Wheat (Triticum Aestivum L.) Genotypes under Nutrient Recovered from Yellow Water

The increasing cost and environmental impacts of inorganic fertilizers necessitate sustainable alternatives for improving wheat productivity. This study evaluated the effects of nutrient recovered from yellow water (NRYW) on soil properties, growth, yield, and grain quality of four Triticum aestivum accessions under co...

Interactive effects of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria and drought stress on the growth and yield of shallot (Allium ascalonicum L.) cultivated in saline soil

This study evaluated the effects of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) and drought-stress timing on the growth, yield, and physiological responses of shallot ( Allium ascalonicum L.) cultivated in saline soil. The experiment was conducted using a factorial randomized block design with PGPR concentrations of 0,...

Soil-Water-Plant Relations and Growth Response of Curly Lettuce to Integrated Microbial and Reduced Chemical Fertilization

This study evaluated whether microbial fertilizer combined with a 50% reduction in chemical fertilizers can maintain or improve growth performance of curly lettuce (Lactuca sativa L. var. crispa) under greenhouse conditions. The study was arranged in a completely randomized design with seven treatments and four replica...

Physiological and molecular responses of lentil to plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) inoculation and targeted foliar application of melatonin and spermidine under dryland drought stress
