“…Data in table (9) revealed that the highest value of carotenoids in flowers are by treatment (P25% + K 100% + with bio) are (11.0.and 11.4) (5.88 and 5.16) for 1st and 2nd season respectively compared to control without bio (6-8 and 6.4) in both seasons respectively. These results are in agreement with those reported by Abd El-Fatah et al (2019) and Abou-Sreea et al (2017).…”

“…Results in table (9) indicated that the highest values (29.3 and 28.5) of total carbohydrates were obtained by the treatment of P25% + K100% with bio for both seasons respectively. Meanwhile, the lowest total carbohydrates were showed in the control plants without bio (16.7and 17.0) in 1st and 2nd season respectively, while those data are in consent with these reported by Abd El-Fatah et al (2019), andHashem (2016).…”

Recently, the usage of eco-friendly fertilizers instead of the agrochemicals has gained great attention worldwide. In this study, the effects of phosphorus and potassium ore (0, 25, 50 and 100% of the recommended dose) were evaluated individually or in combination with phosphorin as biofertilizer to enhance the growth and flowering of Calendula officinalis. The results indicated that the treatment of P25% + K50% + phosphorin or P25%+ k100%+ phosphorin achieved the highest significant (P≤ 0.05) increases in plant height and the number of brunches and flowers compared to the control. Meanwhile, the flower diameter was not affected by different treatments. A similar trend was observed in both plant and flowers' fresh and dry weights. Chlorophyll was also significantly improved by the treatment of P25% + K50% + phosphorin or p25%+ K25%+ phosphorin in both seasons respectively. The biochemical attributes of the leaves and the produced flowers confirmed that total carbohydrates, carotenoids, N, P and K were positively responded to the eco-friendly fertilizers compared to the conventional fertilizers. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of natural and biofertilizers instead of mineral fertilizers. These procedures can be recommended due to its safe and ecofriendly influences on humans and environment.

“…In a study by Massoud et al [ 29 ], the authors found that in sandy soils, and in combination with the application of organic fertilizers, the water use efficiency of the crop was optimized at approximately 270 mm/season. The use of organic fertilization in calendula has reported promising results, and according to El-Fatah et al [ 30 ], organic fertilizers can replace 50% of synthetic fertilizers without compromising the performance of the crop. Overall, fertilization, and particularly nitrogen (N) fertilization, is believed to improve the yields and the agronomic characteristics of calendula [ 31 ].…”

Tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) is a major industrial crop that has being cultivated for centuries for the manufacturing of cigarettes, cigars, and other smoking products. Due to its negative effects on both human health and the environment, the European Union has adopted strict policies that aspire to reduce the consumption of tobacco. Herbal cigarettes are alternative smoking products that are often advertised as healthier than conventional tobacco cigarettes and are especially popular in Asian markets. Even though the available literature suggests that they are equally detrimental to human health, the introduction of tobacco-alternative crops (TACs) to the European tobacco industry could smoothen the abandonment of tobacco, and eventually smoking products altogether, in the EU. The aim of the present systematic review was to compile a list of possible TACs that could be incorporated in the European smoking industry, and highlight their strengths and weaknesses. The most dominant crops in the literature (and in the existing market products) were calendula (Calendula officinalis L.), mullein (Verbascum thapsus L.), ginseng (Panax ginseng C.A.Mey.), tea (Camellia sinensis (L.) Kuntze), chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla L.), and mentha (Mentha spp.). Even though these crops are promising, further research is required for their incorporation in the European tobacco industry.

Compost is a natural and sustainable way to improve soil fertility and enhance plant growth. Moringa leaves have high mineral, cytokinin, and vitamin content which are useful for growth so that they can be used as organic fertilizer. Azotobacter and Streptomyces are from soil and have many biological activities. This study aimed to detect the importance of bioagents formula with Moringa Compost (MC) to enhance plant growth in poor sterile soil and plants were irrigated with half strength of Hoagland nutrient solution. Moringa leaves were collected and cleaned, and organic compost was prepared and analyzed for microbial and chemical composition. The prepared MC was rich in nitrogen and minerals and had high content of bacteria and fungi. The two bioagents used were isolate MB5 and MB11 which were characterized and molecular identified as Azotobacter chroococcum MB5 and Streptomyces griseus MB11. The free-living A. chroococcum can fix atmospheric nitrogen while Streptomyces is a filamentous bacterium with a high ability to produce secondary metabolites. The addition of 20% MC to soil increased soil EC and microbial counts compared to MC-free soil. Moreover, inoculation of soil with either AZ or ST increased the microbial counts and soil EC and the clearest increase was in the case of inoculation of soil with MC+AZ+ST. It also found that MC extract alone with the bacterial filtrates increases seed germination of Phaseolus vulgaris L. (common bean), which is a herbaceous annual worldwide plant, grown for its edible dry seeds or green unripe pods. In this regard, inoculation of soil with inoculum of both A. chroococcum MB5, and S. griseus MB11, in the presence of MC has the most pronounced effect and enhances both the growth, fresh and dry weights, leaf number, plant height, and root length of P. vulgaris grown under greenhouse conditions for one month and chemical content of the plant protein carbohydrates, P, N, Ca++ and K+. In conclusion, the combined application A. chroococcum MB5 and S. griseus MB11, as a biofertilizers with Moringa compost is recommended to enhance P. vulgaris growth. The use of these biofertilizers can reduce the use of chemical fertilizers, which can have detrimental effects on soil and the environment. Therefore, further research on the inoculation and application of these microorganisms with MC is essential for sustainable agriculture.
