“…The lower biomass yield from RM ex was likely due to an elevated EC in the growing medium solution, caused by an excess concentration of K. High K concentrations and EC previously been reported when using organic liquid fertilizer to meet crop total-N requirements (Pokhrel et al, 2017a). In this study, the root zone EC for plants receiving RM ex was approximately twice as high as the upper threshold for optimal parsley growth reported by Álvaro et al (2015). It is well known that a high EC has negative effects on water and nutrient uptake due to lower water potential, resulting in reduced crop growth (Ouni et al, 2014; Rameshwaran et al, 2016).…”

The demand for organic foods is increasing globally, but a key limiting factor to the production of organic greenhouse produce is the lack of certified liquid fertilizers. In this experiment, four organic fertilizers were produced using either acidic extraction, anaerobic digestion or both of ensiled biomass of organic red clover and white mustard. The resulting fertilizers were applied to greenhouse-grown parsley either alone, or in combination with nitrogen (N)-enriched water produced by flushing acidic water with ammonia, to determine their effect on plant growth and the nutrient concentrations of parsley. Six combinations of fertilizer treatments were included in the greenhouse experiment. Three treatments received either fertilizers derived from acidic extraction, anaerobic digestion or both and three treatments received fertilizers derived from acidic extraction combined with N-enriched water. Conventional inorganic liquid fertilizer, chicken manure extract and no liquid fertilizer (only water) were added as control treatments. A higher N-min (ammonium and nitrate) to potassium (K) ratio was found in fertilizers after anaerobic digestion compared to acidic extraction. All organic fertigation treatments resulted in high pH, high K and chloride concentrations and high NH4/NO3 ratios in the root zone. In addition, high electrical conductivity (EC), P, K and Mg concentrations were found when only acidic extracted fertilizers were applied. Application of plant-based organic fertilizers without amending with N-enriched water resulted in biomass yields that were 21–26% lower than the inorganic fertigation control. However, fertigation with chicken manure extract, or a combination of fertilizer derived from acidic extraction and N-enriched water, resulted in similar plant growth as inorganic fertilizer. The lower yield from fertilizer derived from acidic extraction was due to elevated EC levels in the growing medium. Our results suggest that yield of greenhouse-grown parsley using either organic fertilizers combined with N-enriched water or chicken manure extract is similar to conventional fertilizer.

“…These positive results are clearly contrary to those obtained by [30], who, by increasing the EC of the nutrient solution by means of NaCl (of similar EC salinity to our treatment of 3.35 dS m -1 ), reported substantially decreased seed production and did not obtain many seeds with their treatments of higher salinities (similar to or greater than our treatment of 4.50 dS m -1 ). This difference in results could be justified because it is well known that a greater benefit is achieved in productivity—at equal ECs of the nutrient solution—when these are obtained with a proportional increase of the macronutrients compared to when NaCl is added [13, 32, 33].…”

“…On the other hand, many researchers use a rising concentration of NaCl to increase the salinity [12]. However, it has been shown much more suitable for production when salinity is increased by progressive amounts of all the macronutrients that make up the nutrient solution [13]. We consider salinity as the type and quantity of soluble salts that are diluted in the form of anions and cations that exert the effect of the osmotic pressure measured through their close correlation with the EC.…”

Borage is a well-known plant of great importance in human nutrition and health. Expanding knowledge of particular plants that have anti-cancer products is a global concern. There is substantial information regarding the benefits, presence and extraction of gamma linolenic acid (GLA; 18:3n6) in different plants around the world, especially in borage seeds. However, there is little information concerning the effects of the salinity of the nutrient solution on the growth and presence of GLA in borage seeds. The objective of this work was to determine the optimal salinity of the nutrient solution for obtaining GLA in soilless cultivation systems. Borage plants were grown in coconut fibre and provided three treatments of nutrient solution of 2.20, 3.35 and 4.50 dS m -1 , increasing solution salinity with the standard nutrient solution of concentrated macronutrients as a reference. Vegetative growth, seed production and GLA ratio were measured. The results of vegetative development and GLA production doubled and tripled with the increase in salinity of the nutrient solution, respectively.

“…For example, Brassica napus is more efficient than Brassica juncea in the uptake of Cd, Cu, Pb, and Zn heavy metals, and there are differences even among species with moderate salt tolerance (Ashraf & McNeilly, 2004; Turan & Esringu, 2007). Similarly, the growth of parsley has been shown to be negatively affected by increased salt stress (Álvaro et al., 2016). Rocket ( Eruca sativa L.), cress ( Lepidium sativum L.), and parsley, which are widely consumed worldwide for both salad and medicinal purposes, are preferred vegetables due to their rapid cultivation.…”

“…Due to water scarcity, it is predicted that in the future, marginal water such as brackish, refined, and drainage water will have to be used for agricultural irrigation (Food and Agriculture Organization [FAO], 2023). Therefore, it is necessary to understand how poor‐quality irrigation water will affect plant performance (Álvaro et al., 2016). Salinity and heavy metal pollution in agricultural soils are among the most important plant abiotic stressors that threaten soil quality, sustainable agriculture, and food security.…”

Abiotic stress conditions caused by increasing anthropogenic activities over the years necessitate using marginal waters in agricultural irrigation and pose a risk to public health by causing salt stress and heavy metal pollution in the soil. The study exposed rocket (Eruca sativa L.), cress (Lepidium sativum L.), and parsley (Petroselinum crispum Mill.) plants to heavy metals (Zn, Cu, Ni, Pb, Cd, and Cr at rates of 300, 140, 75, 300, 3, and 100 mg kg−1, respectively) and salt stress (3, 6, and 9 dS m−1). Both stress conditions affected plant growth negatively. Biomass losses reaching 88% occurred in the rocket, which was determined to be more sensitive to salt stress than heavy metal stress. In parsley, on the other hand, it was determined that the above‐ground organs were more affected by salt stress, but the negative effect of heavy metal stress on the roots was higher than salt stress. In cress, the cultivars produced different responses to stress factors. The Zeybek cultivar was more affected by salt stress, and Bahargülü was more affected by heavy metal stress. In general, an increase in macro‐ and micronutrients was found under stress conditions. In addition, it was determined that the plants were hyper‐accumulative in terms of lead absorption and were sorted as cress > parsley > rocket in terms of metal uptake. According to these findings, these plants should be grown taking into account the lead values in the soil, and consumers should be aware that they are a group of vegetables that accumulate lead.
