alba. Many potential soil amendments have positive to negative effects on germination. For example, Kalderis et al. (2019) obtained strong phytostimulatory effects of biochar from a 50:50 mix- ture of paper sludge and wheat husks in rocket (Eruca sativa) and lettuce (Lactuca sativa) (332...
Despite growing interest in utilizing microbial-based methods for improving crop growth, much work still remains in elucidating how beneficial plant-microbe associations are established, and what role soil amendments play in shaping these interactions. H
The paper emphasizes that based on soil amendments and irrigation water quality, the mustard grain and stover yield can be enhanced. The authors also highlight that the increasing levels of salinity in water reduces soil biological activity, such as turnover rate, build-up, or fluxes. This ...
