“…Furthermore, nano-zinc addition may affect the growth, development of barley plants. These results are in general agreement with those obtained by [59] who reported that the application of nano Zn-Fe oxide caused an 88% increase in the grain yield as compared to control under severe water limitation. Concerning the interaction of irrigation supplements and nano-Zn foliar spraying, the results in Supplementary Table S1 show that there are no differences in significance for all traits in both seasons.…”

The scarcity of water resources in arid and semi-arid areas is considered a threat to agricultural sustainability. Therefore, approaches are needed to rationalize use of irrigation water without reducing crop productivity or degrading soil properties. The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of different organic amendments (O1 = control, O2 = compost, and O3 = vermicompost) combined with different rates of nano- zinc foliar spraying (Zn1 = 0, Zn2 = 1 and Zn3 = 2 gm/L), under irrigation supplements (I1 = 100%, I2 = 85%, and I3 = 65% of water requirements) on clay soil characteristics, on the production of Egyptian barley Giza 126. Over two successive winter growing seasons, 2018/2019 and 2019/2020, field experiments were conducted as a split-split plot design with three replications. The results show that using vermicompost is an appropriate organic amendment to improve the physical and chemical properties of soils as compared with compost. Application of vermicompost led to a reduction in soil salinity (ECe), exchangeable sodium percentage (ESP), and soil bulk density (BD), of −5.67%, −5.44%, and −2.21%, respectively; there was a significant increase in soil organic carbon (SOC), available nitrogen (A.N), and field capacity (F.C.), of 43.75%, 14.37%, and 18.65%, respectively, compared with unamended soil (O1). The maximum values for grain yield were increased by 13.2% and 14.9% in both seasons, respectively, and the irrigation water productivity of barley was increased more than compost and control. Vermicompost increased the irrigation water productivity for grain (1.69 and 1.69 kg grain m−3) and straw (1.23 and 1.17 kg straw m−3) in the first and second season, respectively. Similar trends were also observed from treatments on the water applied, stored water, and water application efficiency. Application of vermicompost and nano-Zn foliar spraying could be exploited for the development of barley growth and yield, which are enhanced under water-saving irrigation strategies.

“…This results may be due to the positive effect of the molas, compost tea and potassium humate in improving the properties of the soil and increasing the availability of the nutrients, as well as the effective role of application with nano-Silica in reducing and mitigating the adverse effect of salinity on the plant growth. These results are supported to those obtained by [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26].…”

“…The importance of nano-Si for improving plant growth, chlorophyll content, nitrogen content of maize and faba bean has been reported by [19], however research gaps exists regarding its effect on salt stressed wheat crop which necessitates conducting in-depth studies. The application of micro-nutrients in nanoformulations (1-100 nanometers in size) has recently emerged as effective exogenous source of plant nutrients [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20]. Considerable higher nutrient uptake by crop plants, greater nutrient use efficiency and negligible losses are few of the advantages offered by nano micro-nutrients over their bulky application [21][22][23][24][25][26].…”

Ensuring food security under climate change scenario requisites amending degraded soils and sustainably boost staple crops yield in a biologically viable way through effective plant nutrition management strategies. Two multi-year lysimeter experiments at Sakha Agricultural Research Station, Kafr El Sheikh, Egypt, were conducted to investigate the impact of soil organic substances and foliar application of nano-Silica on physico-chemical soil properties and yield of wheat in salt affected soils (2017/18 and 2018/19 winter seasons). The experiment was executed in split plot with three replicates having organic substances (Molas (M),Compost tea (CT), K-humate (KH), M+CT, M+KH, CT + KH, M+CT+KH and control treatment in main plots while sub plots had foliar application of (tab water and nano-Silica).The results showed that physico-chemical properties (bulk density, porosity , cation exchange capacity, electrical conductivity, exchangeable sodium percentage etc.) and fertility (availability of Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Potassium ) of the soil were significantly influenced by all organic substances, however co-application of molas+K-humate+compost tea remained unmatched. The same treatment combination also remained effective in boosting Nitrogen and protein in grain along with wheat yield during both seasons. With foliage applied nano Silica remained superior by recording the highest yield attributes and grain yield of wheat. Therefore, it is inferred that co-application of organic substances and foliage applied of nano-Silica could be developed as an effective approach to restore and conserve the soil and increase wheat productivity in salt affected soils environment arid and semi-arid regions.

“…Additionally, the plant’s chlorophyll content is evidence of photosynthetic efficacy because it acts as a transfer and harvester of light energy [ 30 ]. Indeed, prolonged ID conditions are associated negatively with dire consequences in plant growth environments such as disabilities in nutrient absorption, absence of soil moisture that grossly affected the photosynthetic process, and relative water content [ 31 , 32 , 33 ]. Hence, the deterioration in physiological attributes under ID9 and ID12 ( Table 4 ) is a logical result because the plant water needs are less than their required rates.…”

Water stress is considered one of the most environmental hazards that threaten agricultural productivity. Therefore, two field experiments were conducted to investigate the impact of biochar (6 t ha−1 as soil amendment), ZnO NPs (50 mg L−1 as foliar application), and their combination on growth, yield, and water use efficiency (WUE) of rice grown under four irrigation deficit treatments (i.e., irrigation every 3, 6, 9 and 12 d). The irrigation every 3 d was considered as the control in the current study. For this purpose, biochar was prepared through the pyrolysis of corn stalk and rice husk at 350 °C for 3 h, while sonochemical combined with the precipitation method was used to prepare zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) from zinc acetate. The morphological structures of the produced biochar and ZnO NPs were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), N2 gas adsorption-desorption, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The results exhibited that the combination of biochar alongside ZnO NPs resulted in a positive significant effect on the physiological traits such as chlorophyll content, relative water content, plant height, and leaf area index as well as yield-associated components (i.e., number of panicles m−2, number of filled grain per panicle, 1000-grain weight), and biological and grain yield ha−1 when rice plants were irrigated every 9 days without a significant difference with those obtained from the control treatment (irrigation every 3 d). In conclusion, the combination of biochar and ZnO NPs could be recommended as an optimal approach to maximize both grain yield ha−1 and WUE of rice.
