“…Foliar application of CA, combined with 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA), considerably increased the yield of sunflower plants. Citric acid spray on radish leaves reduced the uptake of Cr and its mobility [17]. Citric acid also increased the antioxidant enzyme activities, chlorophyll fluorescence, and reduced lipid peroxidation in Brassica napus [18].…”

“…The beneficial effects of citric acid (CA) upon the uptake of Cr as well as in growth regulation in several plant species are well documented. The CA foliar application improved the germination rate and root weight of sunflower plant by improving the activities of several antioxidants enzymes including superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), peroxidase (POD) and ascorbate peroxidase (APX) [17]. Foliar application of CA, combined with 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA), considerably increased the yield of sunflower plants.…”

Heavy metals are rapidly polluting the environment as a result of growing industrialization and urbanization. The presence of high concentrations of chromium (Cr), along with other pollutants, is widespread in tannery wastewater. In Pakistan, as a result of a severe shortage of irrigation water, farmers use tannery wastewater to grow various crops with a consequent decline in plants’ yield. This experiment was performed to assess growth revival in sunflower plants irrigated with 0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% tannery wastewater, by foliar application of 0, 2.5, and 5.0 mM citric acid (CA). The wastewater treatment curtailed biomass accumulation, the growth rate, and chlorophyll contents by exacerbating the oxidative stress in sunflowers. Foliar application of CA considerably alleviated the outcomes of Cr toxicity by curbing the Cr absorption and oxidative damage, leading to improvements in plant growth, biological yield, and chlorophyll contents. It is concluded that foliar application of CA can successfully mitigate the Cr toxicity in sunflower plants irrigated with tannery wastewater.

“…Growth period is advanced and shortened [50]. e decomposition of soil organic matter is accelerated, and the soil fertility is reduced [51,52]. It may also expand the activity scope of some pests subjected to temperature restrictions, further shorten the growth period of most pests, and increase the number of reproductive generations [53].…”

Climate change has emerged as a significant man-made global environmental challenge marked by rising temperature. The global rising temperature is supposed to alter climatic patterns like floods and droughts, thereby affecting human life supporting system and global food production. In order to clarify the impact of weather events on agricultural production in karst landforms, this study selected the indices of the growth period of crops (start time and duration), growing season precipitation, intense precipitation, number of consecutive rainless days, and number of drought-flood abrupt alternation events to evaluate the variation trend of future weather events and their impact on crop growth in Guizhou Province, China. The results show that (1) the climate is generally getting warmer. From 2019 to 2050, the sowing period of winter wheat and rice tends to be postponed. The duration of maize and rice’s growth period will be shortened, and the life cycle of wheat also emerges as having a decreasing tendency except for those from the southern region. Comparing with the mean value during 1961 to 2018, the average crop cycle length of winter wheat, summer maize, and rice was shortened. The rate of shortening of crop cycle length is faster than the value during 1961 to 2018. (2) In the next 30 years, extreme precipitation concentrates in June and mainly falls in the central and southeast parts of Guizhou Province. In addition, summer is the outbreak period of drought events and drought-flood abrupt alternation events, which has a great impact on crop’s growth. This study can provide references for the planting system, structure, layout, and management of crops in the karst region.

“…Soil is also commonly referred to as earth or dirt. Recent trends in soil sciences have led to a proliferation of studies that confirmed the importance of soil for agroecosystems (e.g., Lizaga et al 2019;Ondrasek et al 2019), human health (e.g., Brevik et al , 2019 and sustainability (Pereira et al 2018;Meena et al 2019 Recently, a considerable literature has grown up around the theme of the soil as real treasure (e.g., Alshaal et al 2019;El-Ramady et al 2019). Many aspects of soil have long been of great interest in a wide range of agricultural fields including soil organic carbon, soil water storage capacity, and soil microorganisms.…”
