Soilless cultivation represent a valid opportunity for the agricultural production sector,
especially in areas characterized by severe soil degradation and limited water availability …

Purpose The rationale of this paper is to review the state of the art regarding the biotic and
abiotic reactions that can influence Fe availability in soils. In soil, the management-induced …

Improvement of plant iron nutrition as a consequence of metal complexation by humic
substances (HS) extracted from different sources has been widely reported. The presence of …

Iron is one of the essential elements for a proper plant development. Providing plants with
an accessible form of iron is crucial when it is scant or unavailable in soils. Chemical …

Iron (Fe) deficiency-induced chlorosis is a major nutritional disorder in crops growing in
calcareous soils. Iron deficiency in fruit tree crops causes chlorosis, decreases in vegetative …

The complexity of humic substances (HS) and their remarkable properties in agricultural
applications has attracted and continue to attain the attention of many investigators, bringing …

Iron (Fe) is an essential micronutrient for plant growth and productivity and, among other
micronutrients, is the one required in higher amounts. In most soils, Fe occurs at relatively …

Iron (Fe) is a very important element for plants, since it is involved in many biochemical
processes and, often, for the low solubility of the natural Fe sources in soil, plants suffer from …

The ability to provide a fast and multielemental analytical response directly from a solid
sample makes both laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) and X-ray fluorescence …

Soilless cultivation systems represent an alternative to traditional agriculture, as they offer
the possibility to reduce water use and to design nutrient formulations of the hydroponic …
