“…7.23% higher than T2 (45.3nm). This recent study was in line with a study conducted by Costamagna et al (2020) on strawberry plants where coated fertiliser (slow-release fertiliser) gave 13.37% higher chlorophyll content than uncoated fertiliser with the values of 41.9nm and 36.3nm, respectively. The chlorophyll content of the leaf is related to the nitrogen taken from the soil by the plants (Bojovic & Markovic, 2009).…”

The agricultural sector has contributed to environmental pollution, such as water and air pollution caused by the fertiliser used in agriculture is lost into the river or to the air through the leaching process. Studies in the literature have shown that slow-release fertiliser (SRF) application could help overcome the leaching problem as it releases its nutrients slower. In other words, SRF is expected to help maintain the nutrients' availability in the soil for a more extended period and extends the plants' nutrient uptake efficiency. The experimental design for this study was completely randomized design with 4 different treatments T0 (control) was treatment without fertilizer application; T1 (SRF applied once in a month); T2 (CF applied once in a month); T3 (SRF applied twice in a month) and T4 (CF applied twice in a month). This study aimed to compare the plant growth rate (plant height, number of leaves and plant yield) of using SRF and conventional fertiliser (CF) on okra (Abelmoschus esculentus L. Moench). This study shows that SRF does show a good option to promote the growth development of okra (plant height, number of leaves and chlorophyl content) but not on the yield.

“…The chlorophyll content of African marigold plants was improved using zeolite, which increases water retention in soil and prevents the leaching of elements such as nitrogen [30]. Higher chlorophyll content was also observed in strawberry plants treated with ammoniumenriched zeolite [34]. However, in our experiments the total chlorophyll content remained similar during the first run (Figure 5A).…”

Clinoptilolite, with its structural peculiarities (ion-exchange and adsorbent properties), is an excellent candidate for direct use and various modifications. In this study, we explored the effect of ion exchange and the particle size of clinoptilolite on Raphanus sativus seed germination, plant growth, physiological and biochemical characteristics of plants. Plants were grown, for three consecutive runs, on non-modified clinoptilolite, 0.9–2.5 mm (C-2.5) and 2.5–5.0 mm (C-5.0); clinoptilolite fractions modified with ion exchange with ammonium (CNH4-2.5 and CNH4-5.0); and potassium (CK-2.5 and CK-5.0) ions. Our data revealed that ion exchange with ammonium increased water-holding capacity, while potassium exchange decreased the water-holding capacity of the substrates irrespective of their particle size. The positive effect of small fractions ion-exchanged clinoptilolite (CNH4-2.5 and CK-2.5) on seed germination, during the third run, was established. The small clinoptilolite fractions favored root crop production, particularly in CK-2.5 plants only during the first run. Substantial positive effect on the content of total carbohydrates and polyphenols especially during the third run was established in plants grown on potassium-exchanged clinoptilolite. Our findings support the future exploration of clinoptilolite as a suitable substrate for plant growth in space and ground-based facilities for space-oriented experiments.

“…The higher sorption capacity was observed in the variant of anaerobic digestion of plant waste with a smaller zeolite dose. Studies [8] have also revealed a connection between the influence of the ionic exchange of zeolites on the ability to contain the amount of nitrogen by growing strawberries. It was considered that the best efficiency of ammonium removal using zeolites is better at a pH close to 8, which matches the normal pH of the liquid digestate fraction.…”

The study discussed the use of phosphogypsum by-product waste in anaerobic digestion processes. Besides the production of biogas from plant substrate with the addition of phosphogypsum, the focus was placed on the enrichment of digestate with phosphogypsum as a mineral additive to increase the concentration of valuable macro-and microelements. The component composition of the obtained digestates was analyzed, and opportunities for additional research were determined. Research on the use of mineral additives in anaerobic digestion is considered promising. Phosphogypsum favors the quality of digestate as an organic mineral fertilizer with a higher content of mineral components. Furthermore, the contribution of phosphogypsum to plant substrate to achieve higher biogas production is not apparent, but with an impact on the component composition of biogas; however, there is an opportunity to consider the potential benefits of using the additive with another type of substrate waste for the anaerobic digestion process.
