Chemometric optimization of total nitrogen gain from molybdenum levels in fenugreek ( Trigonella foenum graecum L.)

This study was conducted to determine the optimum molybdenum (Mo) dose, which plays a decisive role in achieving the highest total nitrogen gain in fenugreek. The experiment was conducted in pots under greenhouse conditions using a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with four rep...

Genotypic Variation in Coleoptile Length of Turkish Winter Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) Varieties

Coleoptile length (CL) plays a crucial role in seedling establishment and determining optimal sowing depth in cereals, particularly under environmental stress conditions. This study investigated CL in 51 Turkish winter barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) varieties to identify long-coleop...

Integrating Azotobacter inoculation with nano-NPK foliar application: a sustainable strategy for enhancing growth, physiology, and sugar yield in sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.)

Sugar beet is a key crop for the sugar industry, increasingly reliant on eco-friendly inputs to meet rising global demand. Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) enhance plant growth via root associations, while nanotechnology offers solutions to limitations of traditional f...

Combined effect of microbial and non-microbial biostimulants on wheat growth, yield, and grain nutritional quality under sandy soil conditions

Abstract Background The agricultural use of sandy soils has expanded worldwide to meet the increasing demand for food and other agricultural commodities resulting from rapid population growth and urbanization. However, the inherent limitations of these soils, particularly their l...
