“…In the case of lithovit, this modification provides plants with Ca ++ in a micronized form that can be easily absorbed by plants [ 56 ]. This might improve plant metabolism [ 57 ]. The K-fertilizer is another factor strongly affecting the attributes that determine the fruit marketability [ 49 ].…”

The field application of safe chemical inducers plays a vital role in the stimulation of systematic acquired resistance (SAR) of plants. In this study, the efficacy use of three and six field applications with chitosan, lithovit, and K-thiosulfate at 4 g L−1 and salicylic acid at 1.5 g L−1 in improving tomato productivity, quality, and modifying the defense signaling pathways to the Alternaria alternata infection was investigated. Salicylic acid was the most effective in vitro where it completely inhibited the growth of Alternaria alternata. The highest yield quantity was recorded with six applications with Chitosan followed by Salicylic acid; also, they were the most effective treatments in controlling the Alternaria alternata infection in tomato fruits. The maximum increase in chitinase and catalase activity of tomato fruits was observed at five days after inoculation, following treatment with six sprays of salicylic acid followed by chitosan. The transcript levels of seven defense-related genes: ethylene-responsive transcription factor 3 (RAP), xyloglucan endotransglucosylase 2 (XET-2), catalytic hydrolase -2 (ACS-2), proteinase inhibitor II (PINII), phenylalanine ammonia-lyase 5 (PAL5), lipoxygenase D (LOXD), and pathogenesis-related protein 1 (PR1) were upregulated in response to all treatments. The highest expression levels of the seven studied genes were recorded in response to six foliar applications with chitosan. Chitosan followed by salicylic acid was the most effective among the tested elicitors in controlling the black mold rot in tomato fruits. In conclusion, pre-harvest chitosan and salicylic acid in vivo application with six sprays could be recommended as effective safe alternatives to fungicides against black mold disease in tomato fruits.

“…Changes in plant physiology parameters, particularly the Ps rate, were tightly linked to leaf Chl a+b content, which was controlled by how plants responded to their environment [41][42][43][44]. Increased stomata conductance improved CO 2 diffusion into the leaf and subsequently increased the Ps rate, thus improving banana plant development and yield productivity [45]. Moreover, when plants are triggered by pathogen infection, lignin deposition, the accumulation of TPC, and MDA concentration are typically related to defense mechanisms [46,47].…”

A Field Evaluation of Sodium Silicate and Bacillus subtilis on the Growth and Yield of Bananas following Fusarium Wilt Disease Infection

et al. 2023

A field investigation was conducted in a Fusarium-infected area to evaluate the effectiveness of silicate compounds with antagonist bacteria on morpho-physiological growth performance in bananas. The roots of banana plants were treated by drenching the soil with four different treatments: control (without any treatment), CBZ (Carbendazim fungicide alone), SS + BS (integration sodium silicate with Bacillus subtilis), and CBZ + SS + BS (integration CBZ, SS, and BS). All treatments were arranged in a randomized complete block design with four replications. The results confirm that plant height, pseudo-stem diameter, and canopy diameter markedly increased from weeks 2 to 10 after transplantation. Amendment with these elements induced a higher total chlorophyll content, which contributed to the increased rate of leaf gas exchange and biochemical changes for controlling Fusarium wilt disease infection. From these findings, the CBZ + SS + BS application in the farm had significantly reduced disease incidence by 16.07% and disease severity by 14.28%. The same treatment achieved the greatest disease reduction by 63.05%. Therefore, the integration between CBZ + SS + BS had good significant effects in controlling Fusarium wilt disease and enhanced the morpho-physiological growth performance with an average yield production of about 24.72 kg per fruit bunch.

“…Plant growth under water stress is affected by changes in the efficiency of photosynthesis, uptake and translocation of nutrients and water and hormones formation (Gontia-Mishra et al, 2016). Water deficit affect directly or indirectly photosynthesis through affecting the carbohydrate metabolism and consequently crop yield (Ma et al, 2014 andZakaria et al, 2018).…”

“…It is a new nano technological fine powder created by tribodynamic activation and micronization. It is a natural fertilizer releases CO 2 , consequently that reflected in enhancing the net photosynthesis rates and rise promoted effects on growth and yield of various plants (Shallan et al, 2016;Morsy et al, 2018 andZakaria et al, 2018). In this concern, Kumar (2011) reported that nano fertilizers have emerged as an alternative to conventional fertilizers for slow release and efficient use of water and fertilizers by plants.…”

Water deficit consider as one of the abiotic factors controlling growth and limiting wheat yield, through affecting on the physiological and biochemical processes within the plant tissues. Two field experiments were carried out in order to investigate the effect of rates from stress defense substances [Jasmonic acid (JA) and Lithovit (Li)] on growth, physiological traits, chemical constitutes and yield of wheat plants (Gemmeiza 11 cultivar) under three water regimes (100, 75 and 50% ET c ) at Experimental Farm, Faculty of Agriculture, Menoufia University, Shebin El-Kom, Egypt during the two growing winter seasons of 2016/2017 and 2017/2018. Exposing plants to water deficit levels (75% and I 50% ET c ) decreased in all growth characters studied, water relations (total water content, relative water content, osmotic pressure, transpiration rate and plasma membrane integrity), photosynthetic pigments, chemical composition (total carbohydrates, total soluble sugars, N and K) as well as yield and its components (number of spikes/ m 2 , number of grains /spike, spike weight, 1000-grain weight, grain yield /fed and straw yield /fed) in comparison with well-watered plants (Control, 100 ET c ). However, plants grown under severe water stress (I 50% ET c ) recorded highest activities of peroxidase, phenoloxidase and increased proline content.Application of JA and lithovit combinations showed an additive effects on increasing all characters studied except transpiration rate, plasma membrane integrity, activities of peroxidase and phenoloxidase as well as proline content compared to untreated plants. Application rate 10 ppm JA + 5% lithovit surpassed most of the other tested characters studied in both growing seasons. The interactions between water regimes and stress defense substances (JA and Li) were found to be significant for most studied traits. Wheat grown under normal irrigation integrated with application of 10 ppm JA + 5% lithovit generally produced the highest values of growth, photosynthetic pigments as well as yield and its components. Moreover, application of 10 or 20 ppm jasmonic acid + 5% lithovit under water stress conditions led to an increase in all vegetative growth characters, water relations (total water content, relative water content and osmotic pressure), photosynthetic pigments, chemical composition of the leaves (total carbohydrates and total soluble sugars contents, N and K percentages) as well as yield and its components, while caused a significant decrease in transpiration rate, plasma membrane integrity, proline, activities of peroxidase and phenoloxidase enzymes. It could be recommended that application of JA integrated with lithovit (10 ppm JA + 5% Li) under water deficit conditions led to mitigate the adverse effects of drought stress and increased growth and productivity of wheat.
