Enzymatic antioxidant properties and metabolite profiling of oil palm seedlings amended with combined bio-chemical fertilizer under infertile soil

Comparative effects of chemical and PGPR-based biostimulants on growth, mineral uptake, and biochemical responses of Rosmarinus officinalis under drought stress

Rosmarinus officinalis is a medicinal and aromatic plant valued for its high levels of phenolics, flavonoids, and essential oils. However, drought stress can negatively affect plant growth, nutrient uptake, and the accumulation of bioactive compounds. Since biostimulants are increasingly used to mitigate the adverse ef...

Valorization of Aromatic Flower Waste as Soil Amendments: Impacts on Nutrient Dynamics and the Growth of Arachis hypogaea L.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a raw organic composite, made from flower waste, in promoting plant growth and enhancing soil fertility. The flower‐based amendment was prepared by thermally treating (55°C) dried flower wastes from Rosa indica , Chrysanthemum morifolium , and J...

A Sustainable Microalgae-Based Biostimulant Enhances Soybean (Glycine max) Germination and Early Seedling Growth

The transition toward sustainable agriculture requires innovative biostimulants that enhance crop performance while reducing reliance on synthetic agrochemical inputs, such as mineral fertilizers and chemical pesticides, including herbicides, insecticides, and fungicides. Microalgae have gained considerable attention a...

Insights into the effects of crude oil contamination on health status of soil and oxidative stress in plant using maize plant (Zea mays L.) as bioindicator

Impact of PGPR-enriched tuff on biochemical characteristics, antioxidant enzyme activities and hormonal responses in walnut saplings

Abstract Walnut (Juglans regia L.) is one of the most economically important tree nuts worldwide due to its nutritional and health-promoting properties. The use of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) in agriculture is increasing attention as a sustainable alternative to intensively used chemical inputs; however...

Persistent Negative Effects of Biochar On Plant Growth and Oxidative Stress Despite Soil Aging
