Interactive effects of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria and drought stress on the growth and yield of shallot (Allium ascalonicum L.) cultivated in saline soil

This study evaluated the effects of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) and drought-stress timing on the growth, yield, and physiological responses of shallot ( Allium ascalonicum L.) cultivated in saline soil. The experiment was conducted using a factorial randomized block design with PGPR concentrations of 0,...

Enhancement of Morpho‐Physiological, Physiological, and Antioxidant Capacity of Saffron (Crocus sativus L.) Under Water Deficit Using ZnO Nanoparticles and Magnesium Sulfate: Implications for Saffron Yield

ABSTRACT Water deficit stress is one of the main plant growth and productivity limitation factors. In current study, the Crocus sativus plants were exposed to three irrigation regimes (FC 100%, FC 75%, and FC 25%) combined with ZnO‐NPs (0, 25, and 50 mg L−1) and MgSO4 (0, 1.5, and 3 g L−1). Growth, flowering, physiolog...

Maize Silk-Based Biostimulant Seed Priming Enhances Salt Resilience and Productivity in Zea mays by Upregulating Antioxidant Defenses and Targeted Ion-Transport Genes.

Biostimulant-rich plant extracts offer a sustainable agricultural strategy to mitigate plant stress. Two-year field experiments (2024-2025) evaluated maize seed priming with maize silk extract (MSE) at 5%, 10%, and 15% (based on dry weight) under normal (NC, ECe=1.48 dS m⁻¹) and saline (SC, ECe=8.90 dS m⁻¹) conditions....

Improving drought tolerance in pre-sprouted sugarcane through inoculation with plant growth-promoting bacteria: assessment of biochemical activity, nutrient uptake, and physiological performance

Inoculation with Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus licheniformis mitigated the effects of water deficit in pre-sprouted sugarcane seedlings by promoting root development, enhancing soil microbial activity, and increasing nutrient acquisition, thereby improving plant mineral nutrition and photosynthetic performance.

Effect of Liquid Bio- fertilizers on Enhancing Plant Growth and Development of Mungbean (Vigna radiata L.)

Liquid biofertiliser offers a sustainable alternative to chemical fertilisers for enhancing mungbean (Vigna radiata L.) growth and yield amid increasing global food demand. A field trial was conducted during 2024 and 2025 to determine the effects of seed treatments on early establishment, subsequent vegetative growth,...

Effect of Drought Application on Flower, Yield and Leaf Mineral Content of Durian (cv. Monthong) in Cambodia

While synthetic plant growth regulators (PGRs) like paclobutrazol and chlorate compounds are conventionally used to suppress gibberellic acid and induce flowering, their chronic application results in chemical residues, strict export phytosanitary violations, and tree dieback. Water deficit (water stress) presents a su...
