Effect of Some Organic Substances and Foliar Application of Nano-Silica on Physico-Chemical Soil Properties and Yield of Wheat in Salt Affected Soils

“…This results may be due to the positive effect of the molas, compost tea and potassium humate in improving the properties of the soil and increasing the availability of the nutrients, as well as the effective role of application with nano-Silica in reducing and mitigating the adverse effect of salinity on the plant growth. These results are supported to those obtained by [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26].…”

“…The highest values of 1000-grain weight, grain and straw yield of wheat were obtained by the foliar spraying of nano-Si compared with the other treatments. These results are compatible with those observed by [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19]. The interaction effect between soil organic amendments treatment and foliar spraying of nano-si showed highly significance according to the grain and straw yield of wheat during the two growing seasons and the highest values were recorded with CT +KH Combined with nano-Si application.…”

“…It has been reported that organic amendments such as compost tea, and molasses of sugar beet contain organic acids, amino acids, humic and fulvic acids which have the potential role to boost the plant growthsweet pepper plants [13], nutrients uptake and wheat yield [14]. Silicon (Si) is the second most abundant trace element in the soil that has the potential to alleviate adverse effects of abiotic stresses including salt, drought, chilling etc.in crop plants [15,16]. Nano-Si mediates the synthesis of protein, amino acids, nutrient uptake and stimulates the antioxidant enzyme activity [17][18].…”

“…The importance of nano-Si for improving plant growth, chlorophyll content, nitrogen content of maize and faba bean has been reported by [19], however research gaps exists regarding its effect on salt stressed wheat crop which necessitates conducting in-depth studies. The application of micro-nutrients in nanoformulations (1-100 nanometers in size) has recently emerged as effective exogenous source of plant nutrients [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20]. Considerable higher nutrient uptake by crop plants, greater nutrient use efficiency and negligible losses are few of the advantages offered by nano micro-nutrients over their bulky application [21][22][23][24][25][26].…”

Seed Priming with Sulfhydral Thiourea Enhances the Performance of Camelina sativa L. under Heat Stress Conditions

“…The world's population has been projected to cross 10 billion by 2050, which will significantly increase the demand for food supply [1], while climate change has already threatened food safety. Abiotic stresses have reduced the productivity of the staple crops, which has multiplied the existing challenge of food and nutritional security [2,3].…”
