“…Occurrence and suppression of anthracnose disease on chilli seed: The results of statistical analysis data on the incidence of germinating seedling disease in Table 5 showed that seeds given the nano-silica treatment of 100 ppm were affected of nano-silica concentrations and chitosan is effective as an alternative in seed coating methods. Seed coating could improve the appearance of seeds, increase shelf life, reduce the risk of contracting diseases from surrounding seeds and can be used as antioxidants, anti-microbials, repellents, antagonistic microbes and regulate growing substances 26 .…”

Background and Objective: Colletotrichum sp., is a pathogen that causes anthracnose disease that can reduce chilli production. One environmentally for controlling plant disease can be done using chitosan and silica nanotechnology. This study aimed to test the ability of chitosan and silica nanoparticles to inhibit the growth of Colletotrichum sp. and suppress the development of the diseases on chilli seeds. Materials and Methods: This research consisted of the pathogenicity test of chitosan and silica nanoparticles and chilli seed germination inhibition test to control the development of Colletotrichum sp., using a completely randomized design within 10 treatments and 3 replications. Results: The results showed that 100 ppm chitosan nanoparticles inhibited the growth of Colletotrichum sp. and conidia germination with inhibition percentages of 92.20 and 99.4%, respectively. In addition, the development of anthracnose on chilli seed germination has been suppressed by 93% at a 100 ppm concentration of silica nanoparticles. Conclusion: In conclusion, both single or mixed formulations of chitosan and silica nanoparticles were able to inhibit the growth and development of Colletotrichum sp. and increase the chilli seed viability.

“…Carriers such as vermiculite, perlite, talk, and kaolin used in seed coatings provide adequate moisture and porosity for the growth and viability of biological agents around seeds. Similarly, coating materials around seeds increase the vigor and viability of microbes by absorbing moisture, which protects the survival of microbes under environmental stresses like drought stress (Javed et al, 2022(Javed et al, ). 10.3389/fpls.2022 Inoculation of chickpea seeds with T. viride increased the roots and shoots of chickpeas.…”

“…Furthermore, seed coating with aims such as creating a favorable environment for seed establishment and better growth using growth stimulants and nutrients, facilitating seed sowing (possibility of mechanized planting), utilizing biological agents, and reducing the use of chemical fertilizers, and applying moisture-absorber materials, is employed to deal with drought stress (Su et al, 2017). Similarly, moisture-absorbing minerals and polymeric adhesives such as gum Arabic, exopolysaccharides (Ilyas et al, 2020), andbiofilms (Fazeli-Nasab et al, 2022a;Sheikh et al, 2022) can increase the survival of microorganisms in seed inoculation by moisture uptake (Javed et al, 2022).…”

Many plants, including anise, have tiny, non-uniform seeds with low and light nutrient reserves. The seeds also show a weak establishment, especially under stressful conditions where their accurate planting in the soil and optimal yield are tough. This study sought to improve anise seeds’ physical and physiological characteristics under drought stress. To this end, two factorial experiments under laboratory and greenhouse conditions were performed in a completely randomized design with 4 and 3 replications, respectively. Five levels of seed inoculation (inoculation with T36 and T43 of Trichoderma harzianum, and CHA0 and B52 of Pseudomonas fluorescent, and non-inoculation which means that control seeds were not treated with microbial inoculant), three levels of coating (K10P20, K10P10V5, and non-coating), and three levels of drought stress (0, –3, and –6 bars) were considered as the factorial experiment [vermiculite (V), kaolin (K), and perlite (P) numbers refer to the amount of material used in grams]. The laboratory experiment revealed that the combined treatments of bio-agents with coating increased the physical and germination characteristics of anise seeds compared to the control treatment. The greenhouse experiment showed that drought stress reduced the initial growth indices. Still, the combination treatments of biological agents and coating (fillers) could alleviate the destructive effects of drought stress to some extent and improve these indices. The best treatment was provided by T36 and K10P20 in both experiments, which significantly increased morphological indices.

“…Farmers are adopting various practices to enhance the productivity of agronomic and horticultural crops (Khasanah and Rachmawati, 2020 ; Hossain et al, 2021 ; Rehman et al, 2021 ), including intercropping, application of mineral elements, synthetic compounds (Afzal et al, 2020 ; Nurhidayati et al, 2020 ; Abello et al, 2021 ), organic amendments (Iqbal et al, 2020 ; Sarwar et al, 2020 ; Tabaxi et al, 2021 ), plants extracts, and biostimulants (Makawita et al, 2021 ; Khan et al, 2022 ) via soil (Rahim et al, 2020 ), seed coating (Javed et al, 2021 , 2022a ), and seed priming agents and foliar spray (Khan et al, 2017 ; Batool et al, 2019 ; Farooq et al, 2021 ). In a study on rice and its response to urea fertilizer amended with bacteria, Fatma et al ( 2021 ) indicated that amended urea was responsible for the variation in the various biochemical activities.…”

An ample quantity of water and sufficient nutrients are required for economical rice production to meet the challenges of ever-increasing food demand. Currently, slow-release nitrogenous fertilizers for efficient inputs utilization and maximum economic yield of field crops are in the limelight for researchers and farmers. In this study, we evaluated the comparative efficacy of conventional urea and coated urea (zinc and neem) on rice grown under aerobic and anaerobic regimes in greenhouse conditions. For the aerobic regime, field capacity was maintained at 80–100% to keep the soil aerated. On the other hand, for the anaerobic regime, pots were covered with a polythene sheet throughout the experimentation to create flooded conditions. All forms of urea, conventional and coated (zinc and neem), improved plant growth, gas exchange, yield, yield contributing parameters, and quality characteristics of rice crop. However, better performance in all attributes was found in the case of zinc-coated urea. Gas exchange attributes (photosynthetic rate, 30%, and stomatal conductance 24%), yield parameters like plant height (29%), tillers per plant (38%), spikelets per spike (31%), grains per panicle (42%), total biomass (53%), and grain yield (45%) were recorded to be maximum in rice plants treated with zinc-coated urea. The highest grain and straw nitrogen contents, grain protein contents, and grain water absorption ratio were also found in plants with zinc-coated urea applications. In irrigation practices, the anaerobic regime was found to be more responsive compared to the aerobic regime regarding rice growth, productivity, and quality traits. Thus, to enhance the productivity and quality of rice grown in anaerobic conditions, zinc-coated urea is best suited as it is more responsive when compared to other forms of urea.
