“…Harvested samples were analyzed to micronutrients (Fe, Cu, Zn, Mn and B). Leaf samples were acid-digested in concentrated nitric-perchloric acid mixture and Fe, Cu, Zn, Mn contrations were determined by AAS (Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer, SensAA, Dual GBC) and B concentration was determined spectrophotometrically (Kalra 1998).…”

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of different organomineral fertilizer treatments (granular and liquid) on the micronutrient concentration of maize (Zea mays L. var. Karadeniz yıldızı) plants grown in soils collected from the Ağrı/Eleşkirt region of Türkiye. Maize plants were grown in pots filled with soil (2 kg). Two granular (G) and liquid (L) organomineral fertilizers were applied at rates of 100 of the technical recommendation and plant micronutrient (iron (Fe), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), manganese (Mn), and boron ( B)) contents were analyzed. The harvested plant samples were digested in concentrated nitric perchloric acid mixture, and the concentrations of Fe, Cu, Zn, Mn in the extraction solution was determined by atomic absorption spectrophotometry device, and the concentration of B was measured by spectrophotometry device.There were significant differences among the organomineral fertilizers in terms of their effects. Plant (Fe) concentrationswere varied from 65.50 to 73.78 mg kg-1, Cu concentrations from 10.10 to 10.90 mg kg-1, Zn concentrations from 22.10 to 23.90 mg kg-1, Mn concentrations from 19.67 to22.25 mg kg-1 and B concentrationsfrom11.12 to12.77. The highest values were obtained from the liquid organomineral fertilizer treatments and the lowest values (except for Mn) were obtained from the control treatments.Further research is recommended with the same organomineral fertilizers and soil types, but this time with different doses and under field conditions to investigate plant reactions to two organomineral fertilizers (solid/granular and liquid) and to identify optimum doses.

“…The resulting ash was dissolved in 10 N nitric acid (HNO 3 ), and the boron concentration was analyzed using inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) with a Perkin Elmer 1200V instrument. The methods employed for B analysis were based on the works of Horwitz (1980) and Kalra (1998).…”

Nano-fertilizers with higher efficacy compared to conventional fertilizers can provide advantage for plant cultivation in both productive and problematic soils. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the effect of nano-calcium (nano-Ca) on lettuce plants grown in saline-boron (B) toxic soil. Nano-calcium fertilizer was prepared from eggshells. Functional and structural properties of nano-Ca was determined by Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) before plant experiment. The treatments was; control, 40 mM NaCl and 20 mg kg− 1 B (NaCl + B), and 40 mM NaCl and 20 mg kg− 1 B with 4 mM Nano-Ca (NaCl + B + nano-Ca). The nano-Ca significantly increased the dry weight and calcium (Ca) concentration of lettuce plants under saline-B toxic conditions. Although there was a decrease in the concentrations of sodium, chloride, and B with nano-Ca application, it was not statistically significant. Due to salinity and B toxicity, the level of malondialdehyde (MDA) as a measure of lipid peroxidation and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) concentration decreased significantly with nano-Ca application. The catalase activity (CAT) increased with nano-Ca application, while the ascorbate peroxidase (APX) activity decreased, and there was no significant change in superoxide dismutase activity (SOD). The results obtained from the study indicate that nano-Ca plays a protective role for lettuce plants grown saline-B toxic conditions.

“…The soil testing program embraced other aspects of fertility and fertilizer use (Ryan, 1997). Work on soil testing, plant analysis, and laboratory management extended to the laboratories in other CGIAR centers (Ryan, Smithson, Mandac, & Uponi, 2002) and the global soil and plant analysis community (Kalra & Ryan, 2009). The most significant publication in terms of impact was the laboratory manual designed for technicians that was published in English (Ryan, Estephan, & Rashid, 2002), and was widely used in the WANA region.…”

The mission of the Consortium on Global International Agricultural Research (CGIAR) is to reduce poverty and enhance food, water, nutritional security, and environmental health in the face of global challenges, including climate change. It operates worldwide through a network of 15 international research centers. One of these institutions, The International Center for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas (ICARDA) has focused on dryland agriculture in the Mediterranean region, specifically in West Asia-North Africa (WANA). Soil fertility, agronomy, and crop nutrition were key areas of its research program. This mini review highlights the research achievements at ICARDA with respect to nitrogen, phosphorus, micronutrients, nutrient dynamics, fertilizer use, soil testing, sustainable cropping and/or crop rotations, and conservation tillage. Despite the destruction of the Center's headquarters in the ongoing civil war and its dispersion in the region, the legacy of ICARDA will survive through documentation of its research in the international literature.
