“…Horticultural crops in general have high requirements for external inputs so that plant yield can be maximized to its optimum. In this sense, one of the principal strategies to increase yield of agricultural produce is the use of an adequate plant nutrition plan [5,6]. For example, tomatoes' nutrient requirement (N-P-K) in order to maximize fruit yield is around 120-150 kg N, 60-80 kg P 2 O 5 , and 80 kg K 2 O ha −1 [7,8].…”

The aim of this study was to investigate the morpho-physiological responses of tomato and bell pepper plants when specific nutrients were restricted. The study was conducted in a greenhouse under controlled environmental conditions and used hydroponic solution as the growth medium, with the nutrient solution being replaced as needed. Treatments consisted of a control treatment that included all nutrients at optimal concentrations and the suppression of magnesium (Mg), boron (B), zinc (Zn), and iron (Fe) for both tomato and bell pepper. The experimental design followed a completely randomized design, with a 2 (crops) × 5 (treatments) factorial scheme replicated four times. The results of this study showed that suppression of Fe had the most pronounced negative effect on the morphology and physiology of tomatoes and bell peppers and caused a reduction in parameters associated with gas exchange, leading to the development of interveinal chlorosis in the leaves. The suppression of Mg had the second most notable negative effects, with similar deficiency symptoms observed in the plant leaves as observed for the absence of Fe. While the suppression of B and Zn were less prominent compared to Fe and Mg, they still resulted in tissue malformation in the shoot apices and reductions in gas exchange and negatively impacted the morphological parameters evaluated. Therefore, our study provided important insights on how Mg, B, Zn, and Fe depletion affects tomato and bell pepper physiology and its impacts on tomato and bell pepper morphology.

“…4,11 Organic fertilizers are an excellent alternative to chemical fertilizers because they provide essential nutrients to plants while improving soil fertility, reducing environmental pollution and promoting sustainable agriculture. 12 The abundance of organic matter in these fertilizers improves the soil's structure, the ability to retain water and the availability of nutrients. [13][14][15] In recent years, organic fertilizers such as Azolla, manure and vermicompost have gained popularity because of their potential to improve soil health and reduce environmental pollution.…”

BACKGROUNDNowadays, organic farming has become a feasible approach for the production of high‐quality fruits. To evaluate the response of fruit quality and mineral nutrition contents of Hayward Kiwifruit affected by different organic and inorganic fertilizers, this study was conducted in Citrus and Subtropical Fruits Research Center, Iran in 2017–2021 as a randomized block design with three replications. The studied treatments were organic fertilizers (cow, vermicompost, and Azolla) and chemical fertilizers. After four years of fertilization, the fruit's nutritional elements content and some fruit bioactive compounds were evaluated after three months of cold storage and then analyzed by the principal component analysis (PCA) method.RESULTSThe use of organic amendments boosted the calcium, phosphorus, potassium, and iron content of the kiwifruits when compared to chemical fertilizers. The highest fruit potassium and phosphorus content were recorded in the cow manure treatment. The lowest amount of nitrate and the highest calcium, zinc, copper, and manganese accumulation were recorded in the fruits treated with vermicompost. In addition to mineral nutrients, the dry matter, total soluble solids, total phenolic, and antioxidant capacity of kiwifruit were improved by the application of vermicompost amendment compared with the other fertilizer sources. However, the highest fruit vitamin C and total soluble carbohydrates were measured in the cow manure treatment. The PCA results of the fruit quality indices indicated that fertilization treatments were ranked as vermicompost (1.88) > cow manure (1.63) = chemical (1.60) > Azolla (1.54).CONCLUSIONIt is concluded that the application of 40 kg vermicompost or 40 kg cow manure in the next rank in Hayward kiwifruit orchards in March (growth stage beginning of bud swelling) may be a more suitable approach for improving the nutritional quality of the fruit.This article is protected by copyright.
