Aims: Salinity adversely affects okra [Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench] plants by inducing osmotic and oxidative stresses. This study was designed to enhance salinity-induced osmotic and oxidative stress tolerance in okra plants by applying organic amendments. Methods: The effects of different...

The cooling of nutrient solutions prepared in brackish water can have several implications for plants grown in hydroponics. In this context, the present study aimed to evaluate the effects of temperature and salinity stresses in the root zone on the growth, water status, production, and leaf...

The use of brackish water in semi-arid regions is sometimes necessary, as water is the most limiting factor for agricultural production in these regions. The present study was conducted aiming to evaluate the production of bunches of Coriandrum sativum L., cultivar Tabocas, in hydroponic system...

In view of the problem that lack of freshwater resources restricts crop growth in saline-alkali areas around Bohai Sea, the regulation effect of fulvic acid on the yield and quality of tomato under saline water irrigation was studied based on regional salt water resource endowment. In this study,...

Drought hardening could promote the development of plant roots, potentially improving the resistance of crops to other adversities. To investigate the response and resistance of physiological and growth characteristics induced by drought hardening to salt stress in the later stages, a greenhouse...

The effective exploration and utilization of brackish water resources are crucial to alleviating the scarcity of freshwater in arid regions. This study focused on protected tomato plants and set up four irrigation salinity levels: T1 (2 g.L^-1), T2 (4 g.L^-1), T3 (6 g.L^-1), and T4 (8 g.L^-1), with...

Water use efficiency (WUE) determined by water-carbon coupling process is important to evaluate the relationship between crop growth and water consumption. Aiming to provide a novel WUE dynamic evaluating method at field scale, we developed a crop WUE model based on stomata, which coupled the...

Studying new alternatives for promoting plant growth is crucial to face a changing climate. This study aimed to determine the beneficial effect of fungal strains isolated from the rhizospheric soil of two native plants from the Atacama Desert on physiological leaf traits of inoculated 'Chardonnay'...

Furrow irrigation is the most common method of irrigating pistachio orchards in Iran. Water use efficiency using this method of irrigation is close to 35%. Ten years ago, a subsurface drip irrigation (SDI) project was initiated with highly saline and alkaline water for the first time in Iran at the ...

The scarcity of water is a major problem in Tunisia. Thus, 50% of water resources are with salinity higher than 1.5 g L^-1 and 16% with salinity exceeding 3 g L^-1. To use this saline water in crop irrigation, new technologies for water treatment can be applied such us electromagnetic irrigation...
