“…These natural compounds can directly provide plants with mineral nutrients and influence their hormone biosynthesis and homeostasis, resulting in improved growth and development [ 62 ]. In horticultural production, phytostimulants have been shown to promote plant growth, increase stress tolerance, and enhance fruit quality [ 63 ]. Using phytostimulants from natural origins offers a more eco-friendly and sustainable approach to plant growth and crop production.…”

This study aimed to explore alternative substrates for growing forest species using eucalyptus bark. It evaluated the potential of extracted Eucalyptus globulus fiber bark as a substitute for commercial growing media such as coconut fiber, moss, peat, and compost pine. We determined the physicochemical parameters of the growing media, the germination rate, and the mean fresh and dry weights of seedlings. We used the Munoo-Liisa Vitality Index (MLVI) test to evaluate the phytotoxicity of the bark alone and when mixed with commercial substrates. Generally, the best mixture for seed growth was 75% extracted eucalyptus bark fiber and 25% commercial substrates. In particular, the 75E-25P (peat) mixture is a promising substitute for seedling growth of Pinus radiata, achieving up to 3-times higher MLVI than the control peat alone. For Quillaja saponaria, the best growth substrate was the 50E-50C (coconut fiber) mixture, which had the most significant MLVI values (127%). We added chitosan and alginate-encapsulated fulvic acid phytostimulants to improve the performance of the substrate mixtures. The fulvic acid, encapsulated or not, significantly improved MLVI values in Q. saponaria species and P. radiata in concentrations between 0.05 and 0.1% w/v. This study suggests that mixtures with higher levels of extracted fiber are suitable for growing forest species, thus promoting the application of circular economy principles in forestry.

This study was conducted at the slat house of the Department of Horticulture and Landscaping - College of Agriculture / Anbar University, during the growing season of 2021. The effect of soil application of humic acid (H) at 0, 4, 8 ml L-1 and ginger rhizome extract (Z) spraying at 0, 5, 10 g L-1 on some growth characteristics and some chemical contents of apricot seedlings, cultivar Hamawi was studied. Eighty-one two-year-old seedlings were selected that grafted on the stock of the apricot seed. A two-factor experiment (3 x 3) was carried out according to a randomized complete block design (RCBD). The investigation included nine treatments, three replications, and three seedlings for the experimental unit. The results indicated the significant effect of adding humic acid to seedlings in all the studied traits, especially the high-level H2 (8 ml L-1), which achieved the best values for the traits (Branch number, Branch diameter, Branch dry matter, Leaf area, Nitrogen, Phosphor, Potassium). Treatment Z2 (10 g L-1) of spraying with ginger rhizome extract was characterized by giving it the best significant effect of the characters (Branch number, Branch dry matter, Leaf area, Nitrogen, Phosphor, Potassium). The interaction of the study factors was significant for all the studied traits except for the diameter of the branch. The highest values were for the treatments H2Z2 (8 ml L-1 and 10 g L-1) and H2Z1 (8 ml L-1 and 5 g L-1), where the lowest values were in the control treatment (H0Z0) for all the studied traits. Keywords. Apricot, Humic acid, Ginger, Vegetative growth, Chemical content.

“…2,3 There are different methods used to improve salinity tolerance, such as grafting with resistance rootstocks, different practices to improve tree growth and productivity under salinity stress are required. In addition, elevated CO 2 , 4,5 shade screen under field conditions, and using various substances such as plant biostimulants, Plant growth regulators (PGR) is considered an essential practice to enhance a tree's tolerance for various abiotic stresses, increase yield crop, and improve fruit quality. 6 This review focuses on the impact of salinity on citriculture and the main practice required maintaining citrus growth and productivity.…”

Salinity stress affects the growth and productivity of various fruit crops, furthermore, salinity is considered one of the main determining factors for cultivation. Under fluctuation in climate conditions, citrus growers must use various techniques to deal with increasing salinity levels to alleviate injuries, such as grafting with resistance rootstocks, canopy management, the Shading net technique, and using plant growth substances to sustain citriculture
