“…The increase in leaf nutrient concentrations by foliar or root application of amino acids has been also reported in other works [1,6,7,15,16,22]. In biological systems, it has been shown that amino acids have a chelating effect on metal ions and so a protective role [7]. In fact, amino acids can act as ligands for metals with low solubility such as Fe or Zn, or they may be used either for nutrient mobilization from the soil or for their translocation/retranslocation within the plant [5,23].…”

“…In addition, higher activity of plant roots induced by glycine may contribute in higher nutrient uptake and concentrations in coriander leaves [6,22,23]. Furthermore, as mentioned earlier, higher leaf nutrient status can enhance photosynthesis and so greater assimilate production and better plant growth and yield [7,8,[14][15][16]24]. In the present study, a stronger stimulatory effect of glycine was observed in relation to root fresh than dry weights.…”

“…Our results showed that the positive effect of glycine application on nutrient uptake by coriander was concentration-dependent.

“…From economic and environmental points of view, it is more desirable to improve plant nutrient uptake and use efficiency of fertilizers in all plant-soil-fertilizer systems [4,5]. Recently, application of amino acids to plants, particularly under adverse environmental conditions, has been a focus in agricultural science [1,[6][7][8]. Plants can directly absorb a wide range of nitrogenous compounds including various amino acids [4].…”

A nutrient solution experiment was performed using sand culture to evaluate the effects of different glycine levels on the growth and nutrient uptake of coriander (Coriandrum sativum L.). Different glycine concentrations of 0, 5, 10, 20, or 40 mg L−1 were applied to plants via Hoagland’s nutrient solution in a completely randomized design with four replications and under greenhouse conditions. The results showed that leaf SPAD (soil and plant analysis development; an indicator of leaf greenness) value, stem diameter, and fresh and dry weights of shoots and roots were significantly increased by 10 mg L−1 glycine in comparison to the control plants. Application of glycine at 40 mg L−1 reduced many plant growth parameters, whereas leaf proline concentration was increased. All glycine levels except for 40 mg L−1 increased root fresh weight. Leaf protein content was increased by glycine applied at 10 or 20 mg L−1, whereas leaf antioxidant activity was increased at all glycine levels. Application of glycine increased leaf concentrations of nitrogen and potassium (at 10 mg L−1), magnesium (at 5 mg L−1), and zinc (at all glycine levels) compared to the control plants. The results indicate that moderate level of glycine (10 mg L−1) in the nutrient solution can improve the growth and nutritional quality of coriander.

“…Similar findings were also reported in 'Hybrid Ranco-365' chili pepper [C. annuum (Fathima and Denesh, 2013)]. Generally, the foliar spraying method plays a vital role in improving the growth and yield of vegetable crops by increasing plant nutrient uptake and efficiency (Haytova, 2013;Souri et al, 2017). In this study, the highest yields obtained using high concentrations of humic acid could be attributed to the latter's influence on essential nutrients, which improved plant growth and fruit yield (Adani et al, 1998;Alenazi et al, 2016;Dursun et al, 2002).…”

The present study reports on the effect of humic and salicylic acids on the growth, yield, and fruit quality of three red sweet pepper (Capsicum annuum) cultivars: Barbero, Ferrari, and Imperio. The plants were grown in a greenhouse and the leaves were treated with humic or salicylic acids at 0, 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5 g·L−1 at 20, 40, and 60 days after transplanting. Foliar application of humic or salicylic acids significantly increased vegetative growth, fruit yield, and quality of the three cultivars as compared with the control plants. However, salicylic acid treatment proved more effective than humic acid treatment. Red sweet pepper plants of all three cultivars sprayed with 1.5 g·L−1 salicylic acid showed the greatest vegetative growth; fruit yield components, such as fruit number, diameter, and fresh and dry weights; and fruit quality traits, such as vitamin C content, total soluble solid content, titratable acidity, and total sugar content, than the plants in all other treatments. There were significant differences (P ≤ 0.05) among cultivars in response to humic and salicylic acid foliar application; ‘Ferrari’ showed significantly higher yield and productivity than ‘Barbero’ or ‘Imperio’. ‘Ferrari’ plants sprayed with 1.5 g·L−1 salicylic acid showed the highest fruit weight (202.41 g) and flesh thickness (68 mm), both of which are preferred by consumers, and therefore, have increased market value. This treatment also increased total yield by 27.7% (16.03 t·ha−1), 15.9% (12.38 t·ha−1), and 17.9% (11.88 t·ha−1) in ‘Barbero’, ‘Ferrari’, and ‘Imperio’, respectively. Therefore, salicylic acid foliar application is recommended for enhancing fruit yield and quality of greenhouse-grown red sweet pepper.

BACKGROUNDThe co‐application of biochar and wood vinegar has demonstrated the potential to enhance premium crop production. The present study reveals the effects of co‐applying rice husk biochar and wood vinegar (both foliar and soil application) on soil properties and the growth of Chinese cabbage (Brassica chinensis L.) in a two‐season pot experiment.RESULTSThe soil pH, electrical conductivity and dissolved organic carbon contents in combination treatments of wood vinegar and biochar were increased more when wood vinegar was applied to soils rather than to leaves, and the parameters were observed to surpass those for chemical fertilizer treatments. The biomass of Chinese cabbage shoots was significantly increased by 60.8‐ and 27.3‐fold in the combined treatments compared to the control when 1% wood vinegar was sprayed to the leaves (WF1) in 2022 and 2023, respectively. Higher contents of vitamin C, soluble protein and soluble sugar were also observed in the combined wood vinegar and biochar treatments compared to chemical fertilizer treatments and the control; for example, the vitamin C content of plant shoot in WF1 was 21.3 times that of the control. The yield and quality of plants were decreased across all treatments in 2023 compared to 2022 but the combination treatments still displayed superiority.CONCLUSIONThe co‐application of wood vinegar and biochar enhances the growth and improve the quality of Chinese cabbage through improving the soil properties and plant photosynthesis. Moreover, the foliage application of wood vinegar is more preferable compared to soil application. © 2024 Society of Chemical Industry.
