“…Another positive effect of biostimulant application is the improvement of the nutritional state of plants through the increased accumulation of essential mineral elements (Jardin 2012; Papa et al 2022). The concentration of mineral nutrients in the leaves is presented in Figure 2 and Table S1.…”

The use of biostimulants in agriculture is currently emerging as a resource to increase crop productivity and quality. Additionally, the concurrent application of other bioactive materials or bioregulators alongside biostimulants can prove valuable in mitigating oxidative stress induced by various abiotic stresses. However, in some cases, these compounds applied at inadequate doses produce toxic effects under non‐stressful conditions. Therefore, the objective of this study was to analyze the effects of applying various doses of a seaweed‐derived biostimulant containing additional bioactive compounds (Cytolan® Stress) under optimal growth conditions. Lettuce plants were grown under control conditions without biostimulants (control plants) and with two biostimulants Cytolan® (seaweed‐derived biostimulant with proline) and Cytolan® Stress applied foliarly at three doses (150, 300, and 500 mL/hL). Growth and quality parameters and physiological processes within primary and secondary metabolism were analyzed. The results identified the 300 mL/hL dose of Cytolan® Stress as the best treatment. Thus, it improved biomass production, induced photosynthetic activity, increased phytohormone, amino acids (AAs), and mineral nutrient profiles, and stimulated N assimilation. Besides, it substantially enhanced the antioxidant capacity and the concentration of various antioxidant compounds, leading to increased lettuce quality and potential stress tolerance. However, the 500 mL/hL Cytolan® Stress caused phytotoxic effects, underscoring the importance of applying the biostimulant at the proper dose.

Differences in the Quality, Yield, and Soil Microecology of Ginseng in Different Planting Environments

et al. 2023

The quality and yield of ginseng are significantly affected by ecological factors, especially soil, which is a complex environment. This study compared the quality, yield, and soil differences of ginseng in a Mongolian oak forest (MOFG), birch forest (BFG), mixed wood forest (MWFG), poplar forest (PFG), farmland (FlG), and a felling forest (DfG). Based on these differences, the relationship between the three was explored, as was the most suitable forest type for developing understory ginseng cultivation. The soil bacteria diversity of DfG was similar to that of understory ginseng, and its ginsenoside content was at the same level as that of understory ginseng. The soil pH of FlG was significantly lower than that of the other five cultivation methods, and the soil bacteria were also different from them, especially those related to the nitrogen cycle. Ginsenoside Rg2 has a significant correlation with many soil factors and is sensitive to soil environmental differences. In conclusion, there were significant differences in the quality, yield, and soil environments between the different planting methods. MOFG was the most suitable for planting with excellent quality and high yield, while BFG was the worst; as such, planting in BFG should be avoided.
