“…Subsequently, the root length was measured with a measuring scale; then, the fresh weight of the plant was measured using a weighing balance. These plants were oven-dried at ≤80ºC for 48 h (Azeem et al, 2020) to measure the dry weight.…”

Two okra cultivars (Chinese green and Chinese red) were subjected to salt stress for 12 weeks. Salt stress treatments T1 (20.8 mM), T2 (103.3 mM), T3 (180.0 mM) and T4 (257.0 mM) were applied with equal proportions of NaCl and CaCl2 in Hoagland nutrient solution. Salt stress significantly affects photosynthesis, transpiration, stomatal conductance, water use efficiency, water potential, plant height, root length, fresh weight and dry weight of both okra cultivars in every salt stress treatment. At T2, T3 and T4, Chinese red plants maintained their physiological and growth traits up to Weeks 9, 6 and 3, respectively; beyond these salt-stress durations, growth reductions were found. Similarly, Chinese green plants maintained their growth up to Weeks 9, 5 and 3, respectively, at T2, T3 and T4 treatments. In comparison, Chinese red showed more tolerance than Chinese green. According to the results, the third and ninth weeks are the tolerance threshold limits for both cultivars to sustain their physiological traits and growth under T4 and T2 salinity treatments. Similarly, Chinese red has the threshold limit to bear T3 treatment up to the eighth week and Chinese green, up to the fifth week. Thus, this study provides a new method to determine the threshold value of crops with respect to duration under salt stress. This finding would be useful in the field of water saving and utilisation of saline water resources.

“…These conditions could enhance the O 2 , CO 2, and light uptake that is helpful for WT to promote its growth [12,32]. Several researchers also described that high nitrogen concentrations overcome the stress of flooding and encourage plants to grow, especially invasive plant species [32][33][34]. WT was notably taller than WC under nitrogen additional and flooding conditions regardless of plant culture (monoculture and cocultivation) (Figure 2a).…”

Nitrogen (N) is the important nutrition that regulatory plant functioning and environmental stability of invasive plant species under flooding (F) conditions. Little information clarifies the role of nitrogen enrichment and flooding on the invasive plant functional traits and competition with native competitors. Plant functional traits play an essential role in the successful growth of plants under different environmental conditions. Therefore, greenhouse pots experiment was conducted with invasive plant species (Wedelia trilobata, WT), and its native competitor (Wedelia chinensis, WC) in monoculture and cocultivation culture, along with flooding and nitrogen enrichment conditions. Considering the impact of flooding (F) and nitrogen (N) on an individual basis, the plant physiological traits of WC were nonsignificant compared to that of WT. However, in the combination of flooding × additional nitrogen (F.N, F.2N), plant physiological traits of WT were comparatively higher than those of WC, especially in cocultivation. In flooding × additional nitrogen (F.N and F.2N), better phenotypic plasticity at different plant traits makes WT more dominant in resource competition over WC. In conclusion, improved functional traits of WT under nitrogen enrichment and flooding conditions enhanced its competitiveness over native competitors.

“…Despite the proven potential of both household biowaste and invasive plants as feedstock for compost production, they remain underutilised and poorly disposed posing a huge threat to environmental sustainability [25], [26]. In many developing countries, unsafe disposal of organic waste (biowaste) often leads to water pollution through eutrophication which then leads to the growth of invasive plants and therefore creation of other problems in these areas [27]. In Ghana, for instance, the growth and threatening takeover of major water bodies such as the Owabi dam by invasive plants have been linked to indiscriminate disposal of organic waste.…”

This study evaluates the quality and performance of compost produced from household biowaste (CBIO), aquatic invasive plants (CAIP) and a mixture of the invasive plants and biowaste (CBAIP) in comparison with mineral fertilizer (NPK) application. The composts were produced using Aerobin 400Composter with aquatic invasive plant collected from the Owabi dam and solid biowaste from households within the Owabi catchment in the Ashanti Region of Ghana as feedstock. A eld experiment in a 35 m x 19 m plot of maize was conducted with 9 treatments of the different compost produced and mineral fertilizers in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with 4 replications. The results show that the compost types produced have acceptable quality with regards to nutrients (NPK), organic matter (OM), organic carbon (OC), bulk density, porosity, and heavy metal contents (Cu, Zn, Cd, Pb, As, Ni) among other properties. Grain yields following treatment with CAIP (2.06 ± 0.692 tons/ha), CBAIP (2.15± 0.668 tons/ha) and CBIO (2.052 ± 0.915 tons/ha) were similar to grain yields from NPK application (2.55 ± 0.611 tons/ha) but signi cantly higher than the control (1.34 ± 0.500 tons/ha) at 5%. The results show that the different compost types produced have bene cial impacts on grain yields comparable to NPK application. It is, therefore, concluded that aquatic invasive plants and biowaste are suitable feedstock for the production of high-quality compost that signi cantly improves grain yields. Statement Of NoveltyThe potential of household biowaste and aquatic invasive plants as bioresources is not well-understood and therefore valorisation practices are scarce especially in developing countries. As a result of this biowaste and waste from harvested aquatic invasive plants are disposed of by land lling and another unsustainable and environmental unfriendly manner. This study demonstrated the suitability of biowaste and seven different aquatic invasive plant species as feedstock for compost production for agricultural use. The novelty of this study is that it offers a shift in paradigm from viewing household biowaste and biomass of aquatic invasive plants as an environmental menace to bioresources for agrarian livelihood development through composting.
