“…AP and CP contents in the present study were >10% in A4177G3-RIB (Figure 4a,b) and were 9% in Yukon-R among five genotypes, which were 36% higher than reported in the literature [27,61,62], and therefore, can be considered as high quality forage genotypes [62]. However, it appears a trade-off between AP, CP and forage production in silage corn genotypes [15,63]; therefore, a strong negative correlation between forage production and AP (r = −0.9), and CP (r = −0.9) was noted (Figure 1c,d), which might be due to N dilution effects [64,65].…”

“…Dairy manure (DM) is known as a good soil amendment and a rich source of plant nutrients [12,13]. Therefore, dairy manure-based phosphorus (P) and other nutrient amendments could be a promising strategy to enhance on-farm P and other nutrients recycling, crop growth and forage production [14][15][16]. Phosphorus is one of the essential mineral nutrients required for plant growth and development [17]; however, at the same time, it is immobile in soils.…”

“…Samples were then rinsed three times with boiling water for 5 min in filter bags followed by a 3 min acetone soak and dried at 105 • C for 2 h [43]. Total nitrogen in the forage samples was measured by combusting 1 mm sieved, ground and dried forage sample in a CN analyzer (CN-628, Leco, St. Joseph, MI, USA) and N contents were multiplied by 6.25 to get the crude protein in silage-corn forage samples [15,44]. Estimated parameters such as non-fibrous carbohydrates (NFC) were quantified using summative equation by [43,45].…”

Dairy and livestock industry drives the economy and food security through sustainable supply of dairy products and meat across the globe. Dairy farm operations produce a large quantity of manure, which is a cheap and abundant plant nutrient source. However, insufficient forage production with low quality matrix are the current challenges of dairy industry in boreal climate due to extreme weather conditions. To address these challenges, a field experiment was conducted for three years to determine the effects of organic (dairy manure-based phosphorus (DMP)) and inorganic phosphorus (P) amendments on forage yield and quality indices of silage-corn cultivated in boreal climate. Experimental treatments were: (i) DMP with high P concentration (DMP1); (ii) DMP with low P concentration (DMP2) and (iii) inorganic P, also designated as control; and five silage-corn genotypes (Fusion-RR, Yukon-R, A4177G3-RIB, DKC23-17RIB, DKC26-28RIB). Results revealed that DMP1 amendment produced significantly higher forage yield compared to inorganic P, whereas non-significant effects were shown on quality indices except P mineral, available and crude protein. Yukon-R and DKC26-28RIB showed superior agronomic performance and produced significantly higher forage yield, whereas A4177G3-RIB produced lowest forage yield but exhibited superior nutritional quality; higher minerals, protein, total digestible nutrients, net energy for gain, net energy for maintenance and calculated milk production compared to other genotypes. Yukon-R not only produced higher forage, but also displayed good forage quality indices which were very close to A4177G3-RIB genotype. Therefore, we conclude that Yukon-R cultivation following DMP as organic amendment could be a sustainable production practice to attain high forage yield with optimum nutritional quality to meet the forage needs of growing dairy industry in boreal climate.

“…Over the years metalloids and heavy metals have received substantial consideration in multidisciplinary areas of environmental and geosciences due to their biomagnification, bioaccumulation along with negative ecological impacts [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 ]. Anthropogenic activities are the main source of HM pollution for both water bodies and soil, as a result causing severe problems for human being as well [ 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 ].…”

Unexpected biomagnifications and bioaccumulation of heavy metals (HMs) in the surrounding environment has become a predicament for all living organisms together with plants. Excessive release of HMs from industrial discharge and other anthropogenic activities has threatened sustainable agricultural practices and limited the overall profitable yield of different plants species. Heavy metals at toxic levels interact with cellular molecules, leading towards the unnecessary generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), restricting productivity and growth of the plants. The application of various osmoprotectants is a renowned approach to mitigate the harmful effects of HMs on plants. In this review, the effective role of glycine betaine (GB) in alleviation of HM stress is summarized. Glycine betaine is very important osmoregulator, and its level varies considerably among different plants. Application of GB on plants under HMs stress successfully improves growth, photosynthesis, antioxidant enzymes activities, nutrients uptake, and minimizes excessive heavy metal uptake and oxidative stress. Moreover, GB activates the adjustment of glutathione reductase (GR), ascorbic acid (AsA) and glutathione (GSH) contents in plants under HM stress. Excessive accumulation of GB through the utilization of a genetic engineering approach can successfully enhance tolerance against stress, which is considered an important feature that needs to be investigated in depth.

Effect of Digestate and Biochar Amendments on Photosynthesis Rate, Growth Parameters, Water Use Efficiency and Yield of Chinese Melon (Cucumis melo L.) under Saline Irrigation

Abstract:Despite the recent interest in biochar and digestate as soil amendments for improving soil quality and increasing crop production, there is inadequate knowledge of the effect of the combination of biochar and digestate, particularly under saline irrigation conditions. A pot experiment with Chinese melon was conducted in a greenhouse, biochar (5%) and digestate (500 mL/pot) were used with and without the recommended mineral NPK (Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Potassium) fertilizer dose (120-150-150 Kg ha −1 ). The plants were irrigated with tap water (SL0) and 2 dS/m (SL1) NaCl solution. The growth, photosynthesis rate, water use efficiency (WUE) and yield of Chinese melon were affected positively when biochar was combined with digestate amendment, particularly under saline irrigation water with and without mineral NPK fertilizer. The maximum yield under normal water was obtained by digestate (SL0: 218.87 t ha −1 ) and biochar amendment combined with digestate (SL1: 118.8 t ha −1 ) under saline water. The maximum WUE values were noticed with the biochar and digestate combination under all water treatments (SL0: 32.2 t ha −1 mm −1 and SL1: 19.6 t ha −1 mm −1 ). It was concluded that digestate alone was more effective than the use of biochar, particularly with normal water. The combination of biochar with digestate had a significant effect on the Chinese melon growth, photosynthesis rate, water use efficiency and yield under saline irrigation, and it can be used as an alternative fertilizer for mineral NPK fertilizer.
