Abstract Background: The secondary metabolites from savory species are widely used in food and pharmaceutical industries. Salt accumulation in the growing medium adversely affects the growth and yield of plants. The hyper-availability of Na+ and Cl- triggers nutrient imbalances, leading to secondary ionic stress. Under salinity exposure, the reactive oxygen species (ROS) over-generation drives oxidative stress in cells. Moreover, when facing environmental stress factors; the availability of essential nutrients and especially micro-elements strongly declines. Foliar application of micro-nutrients principally as nano-form is a promising strategy in meeting the nutritional demands of plants under stress environments with progressive nutrient shortages. Nano-materials and the supply of nutrients as foliar treatments meliorate the growth, biochemical reactions, and nutrient use efficiency of plants under salinity. The idea with the present experiment was to assay the effects of nano-Fe (magnetized-Fe) and selenium foliar application on the growth and some physiological responses of two Satureja species under saline-sodic conditions.Results: When studying the foliar application of Se and nano-Fe (0 and 3 mg L-1) on Satureja mutica and Satureia spicigera via two separate experiments, under normal no-saline conditions; the highest catalase activity was recorded in magnetized-Fe treated plants in both species. Independent effects of foliar application and plant species influenced total phenolics and Mg content of leaves. Foliar sprays reduced MDA content in plant tissue. In the second experiment, foliar applications were evaluated under salinity conditions. No-saline × Se and magnetized-Fe treated plants attained the highest data for aerial parts biomass in S. spicigera.Conclusion: The results demonstrated that salinity adversely influenced the growth and physiological responses, nevertheless, foliar spray with Se and magnetized-Fe partially ameliorated the salinity depression on Satureja species.

Abstract The effects of NaCl salinity stress and foliar application of KNO3, glucose and Dobogen were tested on Tanacetum balsamita. The results showed the significant interaction effects of salinity and foliar sprays on chlorophyll a, K+, Na+, Mg2+, Fe2+, Zn2+, Mn2+ and Si content, K/Na ratio and total phenolic and flavonoid contents. The highest phenolic content was acquired with 100 mM salinity and foliar spray of Dobogen and glucose, 50 mM NaCl × KNO3 application and 50 mM salinity× nonfoliar application. The highest K/Na ratio was observed in control plants and controls × KNO3 and/or Dobogen application. The greatest Si content was recorded with controls × Dobogen and KNO3 applications and no saline × no foliar control plants. Malondialdehyde, flavonoid and proline contents as well as catalase activity were influenced by the independent effects of treatments. Chlorophyll b and superoxide dismutase were affected by salinity. Total soluble solids and Ca2+ were influenced by foliar applications. Malondialdehyde and proline were the highest at 150 mM salinity. Salinity adversely affected the physiological responses of costmary. However, foliar treatments partially ameliorated the salinity effect, and the results would be advisable to the extension section and pioneer farmers.

A balanced nutrition for enhanced nutrient use efficiency is important to achieve potential crop yield. A deficiency of secondary and micronutrients is known to impair growth and quality of oil seed crops such as sunflower. The present study examined the effect of foliar application of nano-scale zinc particles in combination with boron on the growth and yield attributes of sunflower cv. RFSH-130 in a controlled environment. The treatments comprised foliar application of different nanoparticles (ZnS @ 400 ppm and ZnO @ 1000 ppm) and conventional ZnSO4@ 5000 ppm at 35 and 55 DAS. Further, these were combined with or without spray of boron @ 0.5% at 40 DAS. The sizes of the green synthesized nanoparticles of ZnS and ZnO in the presence of a biopolymer, chetosan were 60 and 38 nm respectively. ZnS and ZnO in nano formulations were absorbed by sunflower foliage to a greater extent compared to bulk ZnSO4. The results revealed that green synthesized ZnS and ZNO nanoparticles enhanced the growth and yield of sunflower.

AbstractLow nutrient use efficiency in maize as a result of imbalanced nutrition has been reported to drastically reduce yield. We implemented a nutrient omission experiment to assess the effect of nutrient application on maize yield and nutritional balance. Maize ear leaves were analyzed for nutrients, to identify nutrient balance status using the Diagnostic and Recommendation Integrated System (DRIS) approach. Results indicated that omission of N or P resulted in highly imbalanced DRIS indices respectively, and significantly lower grain yield. A strong inverse relationship between K ear leaf content with DRIS index suggests that K application negatively increases K imbalance in many situations. Imbalances of Mg, Ca and Cu were more associated with higher yielding treatments. A Which-Won-Where result show that nutrient imbalances in the diagnosis were systematically frequent when N was omitted. All the diagnosed nutrients were imbalanced even under the highest yielding NPKZn treatment; indicating further opportunity for yield increase with more balanced nutrition. Balanced nutrition of maize in the maize belt of Nigeria should target application of varying rates of N, P, K, Mg, S and Zn, depending on the soil conditions. But, because of complexities of nutrient interactions during uptake, it is hardly possible to realize a balanced nutrition. However, differentiating the application of antagonistic nutrients into foliar or soil-based methods is recommended for a more balanced maize nutrition.

The experiment was conducted at Regional Agricultural Research Station (RARS), Jamalpur, Bangladesh during the period of 2019-2020 and 2020-2021 to investigate the effect of vermiwash on growth, yield and quality of brinjal and to find out suitable foliar dose of vermiwash for optimizing the yield of brinjal. There were five treatments comprising T1= Chemical fertilizer (CF) + foliar spray of distilled water (control), T2 = CF + foliar spray of 10% vermiwash, T3 = CF + foliar spray of 20% vermiwash, T4 = CF + foliar spray of 30% vermiwash and T5= CF + foliar spray of 40% vermiwash. Results revealed that, vermiwash treated brinjal plants showed better growth and yield parameters than the control plants. The highest average brinjal fruit yield (29.99 t ha-1) was found in T3 treatment i.e., foliar spray of 20% concentration of vermiwash and the lowest (26.35 t ha-1) came from control. On the other hand, nutritional quality (moisture content, TSS, β carotene and nutrient content) were seen to be higher in vermiwash treated treatment compared to control treatment. The study suggests that, 20% concentration of vermiwash could be used as effective foliar spray for eco-friendly and higher yield of brinjal.

S Deficiency

Because of using sulphur free fertilizer, rice crop facing tremendous sulphur (S) deficiency throughout the world as well as in Bangladesh. However, farmers of Bangladesh often overlook the importance of sulphur fertilization on rice yield. Therefore, the present study was conducted to investigate the influence of different levels of sulphur on growth, yield attributes and uptake of N, P, K and S by grain and straw of BRRI dhan41 rice variety. The experiment was laid out in randomized complete block design with three replication and eight treatments including control. The result of the study revealed that the highest plant height, panicle length, filled grain was found in T1 (50% RFD of S) treatment, while the utmost number of effective tiller and straw yield was recorded in T5 (150% RFD of S) treatment. Interestingly, maximum grain yield as well as uptake of N, P, K and S by grain and straw was significantly higher in T6 (175% RFD of S) treatment. The highest grain yield of T6 treatment might be due to maximum nutrient use efficiency. However, in all cases control treatment (T0) gave the worst result. The present study clearly indicates that higher rates (175% of the recommended dose) of S along with other fertilizers may be recommended for better growth and yield of BRRI dhan41 in Bangladesh soil.

Objective of this study was to examine and evaluate the role of different rates of salicylic acid (SA) as foliar spray on growth and yield performance of BRRI dhan29. The experiment was conducted at Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Bangladesh from November, 2016 to May, 2017 following a randomized complete block design with five rates of SA in six replications. The results showed that the lower rate of SA (upto 0.75 mM) has a positive effect on rice biomass production including effective tiller per hill, filled grain per panicle, grain yield and straw yield. The highest dry matter production at both maximum tillering and panicle initiation stages was found at SA spray rate of 0.5 mM. The highest number of effective tillers per hill (14.7) as well as the highest filled grain (120.4) and grain yield (8.1 t/ha) were found at SA rate of 0.75 mM. However, the maximum biomass production was obtained at SA rate of 0.25 mM. The minimum grain yield (7.0 t/ha) was observed in the control treatment.

The experiment was conducted at the Agronomy Field Laboratory, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh, to explore the growth and yield performance of boro rice cv. BRRI dhan28 is influenced by foliar spray of potassium nitrate (KNO3) at four rice growth stages. The experiment consisted of four doses of KNO3 viz. 0 (Control), 0.25, 0.50 and 1.00 kg ha−1 and applied at four growth stages of rice development viz. at panicle initiation, at ear emergence, at anthesis period and at dough stage. This experiment was carried out in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications with 10 m2 (4.0 m × 2.5 m) unit plot size and spacing between blocks and unit plots was 1 m and 0.5 m, respectively. Results revealed that foliar application of potassium nitrate at four growth stages significantly affected yield and yield contributing characters of BRRI dhan28. But most of the yield contributing characters did not differ significantly due to the interaction between potassium nitrate and stage of foliar spray. However, the foliar application of KNO3 @ 0.25 kg ha−1 showed the highest yield production (5.86 kg ha−1) while the lowest yield (4.85 kg ha−1) was found in control. Furthermore, better yield performances were recorded when the KNO3 was applied at panicle initiation stage rather than the other four growth stages. The total number of tillers, 1000–grain weight and grain yield, was higher with foliar spraying of a 0.25 kg ha−1 KNO3 at panicle initiation stage. From this experiment, it may be concluded that foliar application of KNO3 affected the yield performances of BRRI dhan28 and 0.25 kg ha−1 KNO3 produced the highest grain yield when applied at panicle initiation stage of boro rice.

Potassium (K) is one of the limiting factors that negatively influenced rice growth and yield in submergence-prone soils. We conducted an experiment during the wet season of 2014–15 to achieve optimal doses of K and understand the effect of K application on submerged rice in terms of survival, chlorophyll content, non-structural carbohydrates (NSC), anti-oxidant activities and yield. Results revealed that chlorophyll and NSC content were significantly (P ≤ 0.05) lower whereas the activity of anti-oxidants (catalase, superoxide dismutase and total peroxidase) were significantly (P ≤ 0.05) higher after submergence compared with pre-submergence. Further, application of K at a higher basal dose (40 kg ha–1) was more beneficial to improve survival after de-submergence by maintaining NSC, chlorophyll content and higher activity of anti-oxidants with lower level of lipid peroxidation. Furthermore, results showed superiority of the treatments having application of higher doses with one foliar spray (T9–40 kg K2O ha–1 (basal) + one foliar spray at 0.5% K at panicle initiation (PI) stage) for grain yield. We conclude that application of a higher dose of K with one foliar application at PI stage is more beneficial to enhance plant survival, better recovery and yield gain of rice during complete submergence.

A field experiment was carried out to screen the best foliar concentration of salicylic acid (SA) out of 25, 50, 75 and 100 mg L-1 for its effect on various growth and yield parameters like number of leaves, plant height, number of fruits plant-1, fruit dimensions, leaf chlorophyll content and yield plant-1 in three chilli cultivars. The selected chilli cultivars included were Sky-Land-II, Sky-Land and 1130. The experiment was conducted in field area of the Department of Horticultural Sciences, The Islamia University of Bahawalpur, Pakistan during 2017. Results indicated that different levels of SA significantly increased plant growth and yield parameters, but the level of SA @ 75 mg L-1 highly improved the studied parameters in selected cultivars. Moreover, foliar spray of SA significantly increased growth in selected cultivars; however, Sky-Land-II performed better in response to different concentrations of SA. In conclusion, foliar spraying of 75 mg L-1 SA could be recommended to chilli growers under arid region of Bahawalpur for growing cultivar Sky-Land-II.
