“…Li et al (2021) stated that the rice and fish yield increased in integrated system compared to monoculture. Similar results were obtained by García-Santiago et al (2021). They stated that leaf dry weight, total plant biomass dry weight, fruit number and total yield were higher in the organic fertilization treatment (including fish-derived protein hydrolysate as an N-source), surpassing the conventional treatment by 35%, 9%, 21%, and 4% for these parameters, respectively, though the difference was only significant for leaf dry weight in grape tomatoes.…”

Demand for low-cost and affordable alternating sources of plant nutrient responses to boost the nutrient level of damaged arable farmlands has been a main concern for soil scientists, agronomists, and local farmers. The objective of this study is to investigate the effect of fish wastewater on the growth parameters, yield, and biomass productivity of lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) as compared by using in aerated nutrient solution under deep water culture (DWC) technique. The experiment was carried out to investigate shoot and root fresh and dry weight, total leaf number, leaf chlorophyll content (SPAD), photosynthesis, leaf total chlorophyll (a+ b), leaf total carotenoid content, total leaf area, leaf NRA activity, total root length, root volume and average root diameter. Lettuce plants were examined by using an aerated deep-water culture (DWC) technique in a fully automated climate room for six weeks. The seedlings were transplanted onto 8 L continuously aerated pots containing mix of different ratios of fish effluent water with tap water with six different treatments (T1, T2, T3, T4, T5 and T6) and replicated three times. The fish wastewater effluents did not reduce the growth of lettuce plants. Shoot and root fresh and dry matter, total leaf number, leaf total chlorophyll (a+ b), leaf total carotenoid content, total leaf area, leaf NRA activity, total root length, root volume and average root diameter of lettuce plants were significantly increased with under T3 treatment (Tap water + 1.5 mM N + 50 ml Nutrient solution + 8 ml Fe + 1000 ml Fish effluent water). However, the lettuce plants grown under T4 treatment (Tap water + 1.5 mM N + 250 ml Fish effluent water) had the lowest shoot and root fresh matter, total leaf number, photosynthesis, total leaf area, leaf NRA activity, total root length, root volume and average root diameter. The compost derived from the fish wastewater plays an important role in supplying the nutrients for cultivating the lettuce plants. Also, in this study appreciable nutrients were significantly obtained in treatments treated with fish wastewater, as compared with the ground (tap) water. Thus, grown lettuce with aquaculture is a good source of nutrition for human consumption.

“…Many studies (e.g., [ 69 , 70 , 71 , 72 , 73 , 74 , 75 , 76 , 77 , 78 ]) have reported beneficial effects of the application of protein hydrolysate biostimulants on crop growth, yield and product quality (e.g., in tomato, spinach, lettuce, celery, melon, chickpea, maize or beans). For example, Testani et al [ 79 ] in Capsicum annuum and Choi et al [ 80 ] in Solanum lycopersicum and Lactuca sativa observed that protein hydrolysates increased nutrient uptake, especially nitrogen, by acting directly on enzymes of nitrogen and carbon metabolism, such as glutamine synthetase, glutamate synthase, nitrate reductase, nitrite reductase, malate and isocitrate dehydrogenases and citrate synthase; these results are in agreement with those obtained in Zea mays plants [ 81 ].…”

Together with other abiotic stresses such as drought and high temperatures, salt stress is one of the most deleterious environmental factors affecting plant development and productivity, causing significant crop yield reductions. The progressive secondary salinisation of irrigated farmland is a problem as old as agriculture but is aggravated and accelerated in the current climate change scenario. Plant biostimulants, developed commercially during the last decade, are now recognised as innovative, sustainable agronomic tools for improving crop growth, yield, plant health and tolerance to abiotic stress factors such as water and soil salinity. Biostimulants are a disparate collection of biological extracts, natural and synthetic organic compounds or mixtures of compounds, inorganic molecules and microorganisms, defined by the positive effects of their application to crops. The growing interest in biostimulants is reflected in the increasing number of scientific reports published on this topic in recent years. However, the processes triggered by the biostimulants and, therefore, their mechanisms of action remain elusive and represent an exciting research field. In this review, we will mainly focus on one specific group of biostimulants, protein hydrolysates, generally produced from agricultural wastes and agroindustrial by-products—contributing, therefore, to more sustainable use of resources and circular economy—and primarily on the consequences of their application on the abiotic stress resistance of horticultural crops. We will summarise data in the scientific literature describing the biostimulants’ effects on basic, conserved mechanisms activated in response to elevated salinity and other abiotic stress conditions, such as the control of ion transport and ion homeostasis, the accumulation of osmolytes for osmotic adjustment, or the activation of enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidant systems to counteract the induced secondary oxidative stress. The collected information confirms the positive effects of biostimulants on crop tolerance to abiotic stress by enhancing morphological, physiological and biochemical responses, but also highlights that more work is needed to further establish the molecular mechanisms underlying biostimulants’ effects.

“…Given the consensus on rising crop productivity without the intensive use of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides that negatively impact the environment, various plant biostimulants (PBs) of microbial and non-microbial origins have been used (Rouphael and Colla 2020;Colla et al 2020;García-Santiago et al 2021;Gupta et al 2022). Recently, the European Union (EU) reached a consensual definition for PBs (EU Regulation 2019/1009), as follows: 'A plant biostimulant shall be an EU fertilizing product the function of which is to stimulate plant nutrition processes independently of the product's nutrient content with the sole aim of improving one or more of the following characteristics of the plant or the plant rhizosphere: nutrient use efficiency, tolerance to abiotic stress, quality traits, or availability of confined nutrients in the soil or rhizosphere' (EU 2019).…”
