Salinity is a major abiotic stress that adversely affects the crop's growth, especially cereals. It caused an ionic imbalance in soils, resulting in poor uptake of micronutrients. Among thes...

Guar bean is a commercial and export crop in Pakistan. The increase in the saline area due to arid climatic conditions in Pakistan is an excellent threat to guar bean production. Guar can tolera...

Nickel (Ni) toxicity is a serious threat to plant yield, especially when present in the soil, and its amount is increasing with each passing day. This study addresses the mitigation of this toxi...

Crop development and yield are hampered by salinity and heavy metal (HM) stresses. Heavy metals enter the food chain due to crop plants' absorption when cultivated in areas where HM exceed t...

Olive is becoming most interesting for cultivation in arid and semiarid areas owing to its economic significance, drought tolerance, and capacity to withstand shallow poor-quality soils beyond t...

Drought is a major problem in the world, cause of various crops yield loss among abiotic factor. The impact of biochar and Bacillus endophyticus IGPEB 33 on spinach growth and root para...

Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) is amongst the most extensively cultivated food crops around the globe. Increasing pollution and environmental constraints negatively affect overall climatic...

The deficiency of micronutrients in citrus orchards is a big issue. It not only deteriorates the fruit quality, buts also plays a major role in decreasing the yield. H...

Abrus precatorius L. is a valuable herbaceous medicinal plant with a wide range of therapeutic properties. The present study aims to investigate some of the biological characteristics o...

The toxicity of heavy metals in the soil plays a detrimental role in microbial activities. Higher concentrations of Cr causes restriction of enzyme secretion in soil by disturbing the microbial ...

Activators are products applied to plants or soils to enhance plant productivity and regulate physiological processes. Recently, activators have been used for sustaina...

Drought is one of the major factors affecting plants' growth and development. , The application of plant hormones like salicylic acid (SA) is known to increase a c...

Wheat is an important agronomic staple crop compared with other cereals. Many factors, including abiotic and biotic stresses, can reduce wheat products, such as attacks by the insect-like aphid....
