“…This symbiosis allows host plants to improve their performance by increasing stomatal conductance, photosynthesis, and osmolyte synthesis to maintain turgor pressure and the cellular functions necessary for metabolic processes under water stress situations [ 36 ]. The organic amendment application (i.e., compost, vermicompost, and biochar) has been demonstrated to improve crop resilience and yield [ 28 , 37 , 38 ]. The use of organic amendments could enhance C and the total organic matter content in the soil, as well as increasing mineral nutrition and the soil water-holding capacity [ 39 , 40 , 41 ].…”

The present study aimed to determine the effects of biostimulants on the physicochemical parameters of the agricultural soil of quinoa under two water regimes and to understand the mode of action of the biostimulants on quinoa for drought adaptation. We investigated the impact of two doses of vermicompost (5 and 10 t/ha) and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi applied individually, or in joint application, on attenuating the negative impacts of water shortage and improving the agro-physiological and biochemical traits of quinoa, as well as soil fertility, under two water regimes (well-watered and drought stress) in open field conditions. Exposure to drought decreased biomass, leaf water potential, and stomatal conductance, and increased malondialdehyde and hydrogen peroxide content. Mycorrhiza and/or vermicompost promoted plant growth by activating photosynthesis machinery and nutrient assimilation, leading to increased total soluble sugars, proteins, and antioxidant enzyme activities in the leaf and root. After the experiment, the soil’s total organic matter, phosphorus, nitrogen, calcium, and soil glomalin content improved by the single or combined application of mycorrhiza and vermicompost. This knowledge suggests that the combination of mycorrhiza and vermicompost regulates the physiological and biochemical processes employed by quinoa in coping with drought and improves the understanding of soil–plant interaction.

“…Due to the wide diversity of composition, they can attribute to the agricultural system benefits for physical, chemical and biological processes in the soil (Zanin et al, 2019). The use of these compounds has been raised in the literature as an innovative practice due to the positive impacts on physiology, biochemical characteristics and soil fertility, and which are favorable aspects for the production of garlic (Boutasknit et al, 2020).…”

Garlic is a highly relevant vegetable crop from the food and medicinal point of view in the culture of different peoples around the world. The new discoveries of the active components present in the bulbs increase the demand and require that garlic’s production system meets the demands of the market in quantity and quality. The nutrition in vegetables is crucial for the production and protection of crops, and in the garlic crop it is usual practice to apply minerals via leaf application during the cycle. The use and benefits of organic sources associated with minerals in the garlic crop raise questions about the viability of the leaf application method in this crop. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of biofertilizers containing humic acids applied via leaf application in the crop of garlic (Allium sativum) in relation to the control (absence of humic acid). There was no significant variation for the foliar application of biofertilizers for the development parameters (aerial part, root system and bulb formation) and garlic production classes. Biofertilizer 4 at the dose of 30 L ha-1 stood out compared to the Biofertilizers 2 and 3 for total productivity. The use of foliar biofertilizers with organic components associated with minerals can be considered an interesting alternative for the cultivation of garlic, especially if evaluated in the long term and considering the global benefits to the cultivation system.

“…Our findings exhibit that combining PS with compost had a beneficial impact, suggesting that this technique could be employed for PS valorization and the production of high-quality plant biostimulants. Several studies revealed the positive impact of phospho-compost in improving agro-physiological traits on different crops such as garlic, tomato, and maize (El Gabardi et al, 2020;Boutasknit et al, 2021a;Haouas et al, 2021a).…”

“…Compost improves the physical and chemical characteristics of soils, such as pH neutrality, and boosts organic matter and nutrient availability, resulting in increased growth and yield of plants (Bello et al, 2021;Zafar-ul-Hye et al, 2021). Moreover, using compost made from organic waste and phosphate sludge is a promising technique for generating crops with high quality and yield (Anli et al, 2021a;Boutasknit et al, 2021a).…”

The date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.) is the most important fruit crop in the oasis ecosystems due to its different ecological and socio-economic roles. However, this crop is confronted with environmental stresses such as soil poverty in organic and mineral matter. This research aimed at how local compost and/or phosphate sludge (PS) can affect the agro-physiological parameters of date palm over time in a greenhouse environment. The results showed that the factor time (period) presented a positive effect in the improvement of the physiology (stomatal conductance and chlorophyll fluorescence) and the growth (number of leaves, shoot height, and leaf area) of date palm seedlings treated with compost and PS + Compost in the periods P4-P9 and P8-P9, respectively, compared to the control. In addition, this study revealed the effectiveness of compost alone or combined with PS to boost the growth performances and physiology of date palm seedlings from the second month of the experiment with an apparent difference after four months of compost and PS application. It is clear from this study that the application of compost and its combination with PS could be a biological tool to improve date palm development under poor soil.
