Polyethylene microplastics are widespread soil contaminants that may threaten agroecosystem stability and crop quality. However, plant physiological and biochemical responses to microplastic exposure, particularly cultivar-specific responses, remain insufficiently understood. This study evaluated the ecotoxicological e...
This pot-scale study provides reliable experimental evidence for the synergistic effects of water and biochar on maize seedlings under Cd stress and suggests a mechanistic framework that warrants further validation under field conditions.
: Soil salinity, intensified by climate change, is a major abiotic constraint limiting crop productivity, and the development of sustainable management strategies is therefore essential for resilient agroecosystems. Plant biostimulants, including arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMFs), Trichoderma spp., and organic amendm...
This study was conducted under greenhouse conditions to determine the effects of biochar applied at different rates on soil enzyme activities and the plant antioxidant system in spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.) under different levels of water deficit. The experiment was conducted under greenhouse conditions in a complete...
Background. Biochar is widely promoted as a soil amendment that can improve fertility, retain nutrients, and enhance crop performance, yet its effects vary strongly with soil type, application rate, and time since application. Evidence for perennial fruit crops grown on fertile soils without mineral fertilizer remains...
