Climate resilience of the C3 halophyte Chenopodium quinoa Willd potentiates its production
in drought and salt-prone areas. A two-year field experiment was laid out in completely …

The efficiency of nitrogenous fertilizers in South Asia is on a declining trajectory due to
increased losses. Biochar (BC) and slow-releasing nitrogen fertilizers (SRNF) have been …

Since silicon (Si) was found to be effective in crop production recently, more information is
needed about its characteristics, including how it functions as a nano fertilizer for crop …

Overexploitation of chemical fertilizers is a main threat to the environment, seriously
polluting soil and water resources. In this regard, an optimization of N (nitrogen) fertilization …

The sustained effects of biochar on the soil-crop system have been reported, but the
underlying mechanisms are still poorly understood, especially in salinized land areas. A …

Our objective was to evaluate the impact of land use change, from natural forest to tillage-
based systems, on the distribution of P pools and their stratification in soils under both no-till …

Water shortage is a major challenge for cotton production in Uzbekistan, substantially
deteriorating crop growth and yield. Two-year field studies in a split-plot design were …

Background The raising trend of cultivation of Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt)-transgenic cotton is
faced with a new challenge what effects on the growth and yield of Bt cotton under elevated …

Licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra L.), known for its salt and drought tolerance, presents a potential
solution for addressing soil salinity and desertification challenges in arid areas. Since the …

Among fertilizers, nitrogen (N) is the one that is used in the largest amounts mainly due to
immediate response to the fertilizer-N application. However, the N use efficiency (NUE) is …
