Biofertilizers offer a sustainable alternative to chemical fertilizers, notorious for their harmful impact on the environment and human health. Sources of biofertilizers include cyanobacteria, such as those from the genus Arthrospira, which contain bioactive compounds that enhance plant growth directly and indirectly. To promote widespread biofertilizer adoption, experimental trials are essential to compare their efficacy against chemical fertilizers and different biofertilizer varieties. Some biofertilizers rely on ultrasonication for cell rupture, but since A. maxima undergoes Sunday‐drying to obtain the biomass powder, which also ruptures cells, ultrasonication may be unnecessary. We assessed the biofertilizer capabilities of Arthrospira maxima (Setchell & N.L. Gardner) Geitler biomass on three cash crops, banana (Musa acuminata Colla), cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L. Walp.), and eggplant (Solanum melongena Mill. Dunal). We compared sonicated and non‐sonicated biomass (both 20 g L−1) against a commercially available, brown algae Ascophyllum nodosum (L.) biofertilizer (4 mL L−1 OptiMar), a commercially available chemical fertilizer (1.5 mL L−1 Triple15), and a negative control of tap water. Few differences were observed among A. maxima treatments, suggesting sonication might be unnecessary. OptiMar, Triple15, and the negative control did not yield the highest biometric values of any trait in any crop. If commercially available fertilizers and biofertilizers do not outperform the negative control, it raises crucial questions regarding their effectiveness and the appropriate concentrations at which they should be applied. Non‐sonicated biomass often outperformed OptiMar, Triple15, and the negative control, demonstrating the potential Arthrospira maxima has for stimulating plant growth without ultrasonication.

Legumes, particularly beans, are a crucial human food source, second only to grains. However, the presence of bean pod borer, Helicoverpa armigera Hubner (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), poses a significant threat to beans, causing quantitative and qualitative damage each year. To evaluate the effect of sowing date and cultivar on bean pod borer damage in Markazi Province, Iran. A split plot experiment design based on a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications and nine treatments was conducted over two crop years (2020‐2021 and 2021‐2022). The main plot had three sowing dates: 15 days earlier than the conventional date (early sowing), the conventional date, and 15 days later than the conventional date (late sowing). The subplot focused on three pinto bean cultivars: “Ghaffar,” “Talash,” and, “Sadri.” General, “Sadri” showed the highest mean of the number of larvae in per plant (0.46–0.53) and infection rate, while “Ghaffar” had the lowest mean of number of larvae (0.24–0.30) in both years. The mean of damaged pods was highest (0.42–0.61) in “Sadri” for both years, but lowest in “Ghaffar” (0.27–0.3) for both years. Similarly, the mean of the highest (4.08–4.96) and the lowest (1.54–1.79) damage percentages were observed in “Sadri” and “Ghaffar,” respectively, in both years. “Sadri” had the highest mean number of damaged grains (0.58–0.61) in both years, with “Talash” having the lowest (0.30) in the first year and “Ghaffar” (0.30) in the second year. Moreover, despite the higher pest population and damage, early sowing (May 20) resulted in higher yields in both years. The highest yield was associated to early‐sown “Ghaffar” plants whose yield was 3581.00 ± 225.43 kg/ha in the first year and 3571.0 ± 223.40 kg/ha in the second year. Thus, since “Ghaffar” is more pest‐tolerant, it can be recommended for cultivation in infested areas.
