“…Today, the FAO Strategic Framework 2022-2031 considers the transition to CSA imperative to improve agricultural resilience and productivity and lower its climate footprint and costs [8]. The CSA approach is implemented through three priority lines of action: firstly, boosting sustainable agricultural production to support increased incomes and food security; secondly, increasing agroecosystems' adaptive capacity; and thirdly, reducing greenhouse gas emissions while increasing carbon sequestration [9].…”

Current agricultural problems, such as the decline of freshwater and fertile land, foster saline agriculture development. Salicornia and Sarcocornia species, with a long history of human consumption, are ideal models for developing halophyte crops. A greenhouse experiment was set up to compare the response of the perennial Sarcocornia fruticosa and the two annual Salicornia europaea and S. veneta to 30 days of salt stress (watering with 700 mM NaCl) and water deficit (complete withholding of irrigation) separate treatments, followed by 15 days of recovery. The three species showed high tolerance to salt stress, based on the accumulation of ions (Na+, Cl−, Ca2+) in the shoots and the synthesis of organic osmolytes. These defence mechanisms were partly constitutive, as active ion transport to the shoots and high levels of glycine betaine were also observed in non-stressed plants. The three halophytes were sensitive to water stress, albeit S. fruticosa to a lesser extent. In fact, S. fruticosa showed a lower reduction in shoot fresh weight than S. europaea or S. veneta, no degradation of photosynthetic pigments, a significant increase in glycine betaine contents, and full recovery after the water stress treatment. The observed differences could be due to a better adaptation of S. fruticosa to a drier natural habitat, as compared to the two Salicornia species. However, a more gradual stress-induced senescence in the perennial S. fruticosa may contribute to greater drought tolerance in this species.

“…In Punjab, cultivated area decreased along with farmers' incomes during lockdown because of COVID-19 (WHO (World Health Organization) 2020; Shahzad et al 2021). Fruit and vegetable growers were mostly affected because they could not sell their produce due to market closings and limited movement of goods (Khaliq et al 2020;Akram et al 2022;Hussain et al 2022). So, Punjab needs to be prepared for potential surge about agriculture in upcoming months.…”

“…Long-term exposure to these metals can lead to serious health problems and can even be fatal. Although heavy metals are essential micronutrients and serve as cofactors for many metabolic enzymes, many metabolic enzymes become toxic to the plants and the humans feeding on the plants when their concentrations in soil are above the recommended limits especially for essential heavy metals while the non-essential heavy metals are toxic even at minute concentrations [15][16][17].…”

“…However, the application of sewage sludge also elevates heavy metal concentrations in vegetable tissues and on their surfaces [18]. Prolonged exposure to excessive levels of these heavy metals can have a negative impact on human health, as they interfere with various biochemical and biological processes [17,19]. The ability of plants to bioaccumulate heavy metals in the soil differs and depend on variety of factors.…”

This study investigated the effects of four different rates of sewage sludge amendment (100, 200, 300, and 400g) on Spinacia oleracea (Leafy vegetable) and Daucus carota (Root vegetable) on the growth and the accumulation of heavy metals. The yield of S. oleracea and D. carota was measured in terms of weight while heavy metals levels at harvest were measured using ICP-MS. The growth and yield at harvest in S.oleracea were in following order 300g > 400g > 200g > 100g while in D.carota the order for the yield was 400g > 200g > 300g > 100g. Elemental concentrations showed that iron (Fe) had the highest average concentration for both plants and ranged between 68.60 ± 2.82mg/kg − 1503.00 ± 82.31mg/kg. Differences obtained as a result of the amendments were significant for heavy metals such as Fe, Pb, Cd from the different plant parts. Concentrations of Pb and Cr recorded in the leaves of S. oleracea were above the recommended limit for human consumption with the exception from leaves of S. Olereacea harvested from soil treated with 400g of sewage sludge. There was no particular trend of heavy metals accumulation noted in the experiment except for the values obtained for trace elements in the roots of D. caraota where, roots parts harvested either from soil treated with 300g or 400g recorded the highest concentrations of these elements. The bioaccumulation factor showed that the elements were bioaccumulated from the soil.
