“…It is noted that with an increase in salt stress root dry weight decreases, but the preference of both genotypes is different as Green Gold performed better than NARC oat and other genotypes. Similar results were reported for wheat by Sarwar et al (2004), for cotton (Meloni et al, 2001), and for maize (Zia et al, 2022). Higher NaCl concentrations may inhibit early seedling development and Root fresh weight decreased as salinity stress increases (Wang et al, 2020;Tabassum et al, 2021).…”

“…Thus, salt damaged the germination process by changing the normal germination mechanism, resulting in lower growth and development and, eventually, decreased economic output. Furthermore, the increased occurrence of salt stress on arable land implies an urgent need for a greater knowledge of plant tolerance mechanisms in order to preserve agricultural production through optimal crop growth conditions management (Zia et al, 2022).…”

“…Many researchers have attempted to screen salt-tolerant cultivars on diverse species during crop seedling growth (Ahmad et al, 2022;Zia et al, 2022). Although salt stress affects all plant growth stages, seed germination and seedling growth stages are considered to be more sensitive in most plant species (Dehnavi et al, 2020;Mbarki et al, 2020).…”

“…The osmotic potential, delays the uptake of water needed for nutrient mobilization and causes germination to be reduced as a result of salt stress. According to Zia et al (2022), the osmotic impact of salts contained in the growing medium gradually reduced the germination percentage.…”

Soil salinity is a major constraint to modern agriculture, with around 20% of the previously irrigated area becoming salt affected. Identifying suitable salt stress-tolerant genotypes based on their agronomic and physiological traits remains a herculean challenge in forage-type Oat (Avena sativa L.) breeding. The present study was designed to investigate the response of oat crop plants against the salt (NaCl) stress in Mardan, Pakistan. The experiment was carried out in complete randomized design (CRD) with two factors trail comprising of the performance of four different genotypes of oat (NARC oat, PARC oat, Green Gold and Islamabad oat) in response to four levels of saline stress (0, 25, 50 and 75 mmol L-1 NaCl). Plant growth and physiological parameters including germination (G, %); fresh shoot weight (FSW, g); fresh root weight (FRW, g); chlorophyll-a, chlorophyll-b, total chlorophyll, and total carotenoids were analyzed for identifying salt tolerance. Germination (%) of oat genotypes was negatively affected by higher salt stress. Mean values showed that maximum germination (57.5%) was recorded for control while minimum germination (48.75%) was recorded for 25 mmol L-1 NaCl and that maximum germination (58%) was recorded for PARC oat. The root and shoot fresh weight of all genotypes declined with increasing salt stress, while NARC and Green Gold oat showed considerably higher values than the other genotypes. Although chlorophyll and carotenoids were found to be negatively affected by increasing salt concentrations, NARC and Green Gold oat genotypes performed considerably better at 75 mmol L-1 NaCl when compared to the other genotypes. Based on the mean shoot dry weight ratio ± one standard error, the four Oat genotypes were categorized as salt-tolerant (Green Gold), moderately tolerant (PARC and NARC), and salt-sensitive (Islamabad). The more salt-tolerant genotype (Green Gold) demonstrated relatively high salinity tolerance and may be useful for developing high-yielding oat hybrids in future breeding programs under salt stress conditions.

Reusing organic wastes in land applications would enhance the recovery of resources, following the concepts of the circular economy. The sugarcane-based sugar industry produces various by-products (e.g., sugarcane filter mud, molasses, and bagasse) that have the potential to contribute to crop production and soil fertility, owing to their high contents of organic matter and nutrients. Although the agricultural benefits of compost utilization in agriculture have been well-documented, to the best of our knowledge, few scientific data are currently available on the effects of sugarcane filter mud combined with the application of compost for increasing crop production. Thus, a field experiment was carried out to study how sugarcane filter mud, in combination with two compost sources, affected the growth and yield of sweet maize (Zea mays var. saccharata). We compared (i) two types of compost made from brassica residue and household waste applied at a rate of 9 t ha−1, and (ii) two application rates of sugarcane filter mud: 0 and 2 t ha−1 to two controls without any compost application: one with (+SFM) and one without (−SFM) sugar filter mud. The results highlighted that all crop growth and yield parameters benefited more from the domestic waste compost than from the brassica straw compost. Moreover, the addition of sugar filter mud to the compost further boosted the crop performance. Based on the above results, we concluded that the addition of sugarcane filter mud to locally available composts is a feasible approach for more sustainable production of sweet maize, combining efficient waste disposal and the provision of organic matter to the soil.
