“…Worm fertilizer concentration increases pH and electrical conductivity, all of which harm plants. These results came from a similar point of view to those reported by Lazcano and Martin (2010) and Celikcana et al (2021). In addition, the increases in all characteristics of Ocimum basilicum L. var.…”

“…Plant diseases can be avoided by using vermicompost. Celikcana et al (2021) reported that vermicompost applications at 10% and 20% concentrations significantly increased the weight of fresh and dry, the weight of fresh and dry roots, the leaf area of sweet basil, identified essential oil compounds and content of caffeic, the level of Rosmarinus acid, and higher nutrient levels of (Ocimum basilicum L.).…”

This study was conducted during the 2019/2020 and 2020/2021 seasons at one of the agricultural nurseries in Dakahlia Governorate, Egypt to recognize how ground treatments and foliar application with some plant growth stimulants influenced the growth, chemical composition, and oil yield of Italian basil. The experimental plan for each ground treatment of vermicompost: clay soil at two rates (25:75 and 50:50%) (1:3 and 1:1v/v) in a separate experiment that used a randomized complete block design with four replications. Thirteen foliar spraying treatments using some plant growth stimulants were used as follows; control treatment, spraying plants with yeast extract at 2, 4, and 6 g/L, seaweed extract at 20, 40, and 60 %, chitosan at 500, 750, and 1000 ppm and vermicompost tea at 250, 500 and 750 ml/L. Growing Italian basil in media consisting of 25 % vermicompost: 75 % soil performed better than other media consisting of 50 % vermicompost: 50 % soil, which produced the highest values of all studied traits. The highest values of all studied traits were formed from foliar spraying Italian basil plants with chitosan at 750 ppm. It can be concluded that using growing media consists of 25 % vermicompost: 75 % clay soil in addition to foliar spraying Italian basil plants with chitosan at 750 ppm or vermicompost tea at 750 ml/L to enhance the growth and chemical composition and oil percentage of Italian basil (Ocimum basilicum L. var. Genovese) under the environmental conditions of Dakahlia Governorate, Egypt.

“…Regarding the effect of drought on phenolics biosynthesis, as noted for morphological and physiological traits and in agreement with F-C results, PEG significantly reduced the content of almost all phenolic compounds (especially rosmarinic acid), compared to the control. Likewise, rosmarinic acid content decreased by water stress in other Lamiaceae species, such as O. basilicum [ 78 ], Melissa officinalis [ 79 , 80 ], and Salvia miltiorrhiza [ 81 ]. On the other hand, the production of flavonoids (epigallocatechin gallate, dihydromorelloflavone, and theaflavic acid) was not affected by drought.…”

Response of Thymus lotocephalus In Vitro Cultures to Drought Stress and Role of Green Extracts in Cosmetics

The impact of drought stress induced by polyethylene glycol (PEG) on morphological, physiological, (bio)chemical, and biological characteristics of Thymus lotocephalus López and Morales shoot cultures have been investigated, as well as the potential of iron oxide nanoparticles, salicylic acid, and methyl jasmonate (MeJA) as alleviating drought stress agents. Results showed that PEG caused oxidative stress in a dose-dependent manner, raising H2O2 levels and reducing shoots’ growth, photosynthetic pigment contents, and phenolic compounds production, especially phenolic acids, including the major compound rosmarinic acid. Moreover, Fourier Transform Infrared Spectra analysis revealed that PEG treatment caused changes in shoots’ composition, enhancing terpenoids biosynthesis. PEG also decreased the biological activities (antioxidant, anti-tyrosinase, and photoprotective) of the eco-friendly extracts obtained with a Natural Deep Eutectic Solvent. MeJA was the most efficient agent in protecting cells from oxidative damage caused by drought, by improving the biosynthesis of phenolics, like methyl 6-O-galloyl-β-D-glucopyranoside and salvianolic acids, as well as improving the extracts’ antioxidant activity. Altogether, the obtained results demonstrated a negative impact of PEG on T. lotocephalus shoots and an effective role of MeJA as a mitigating agent of drought stress. Additionally, extracts showed a good potential to be used in the cosmetics industry as skincare products.

“…Organic manures such as farmyard manure (rich in potassium), vermicompost (higher concentrations of nitratenitrogen and lower concentrations of ammoniumnitrogen) and poultry manure (least C:N ratio) boosted the water-holding capacity of soil and maintained at ideal moisture for longer period of time. It might had gradually increased the amount of available carbon in the soil, acting as an energy source to facilitate the development of extremely diverse microbial communities with a variety of functional characteristics, ultimately supported dissolution and availability of nutrients (N, P, K and micronutrients) for crop plants [16]. Additionally, by increasing the root density, active adsorption area, and root surface phosphatase activity, the incorporation of organic sources into soil could enhance crop plants' root morphological characteristics, root TTC (Tri phenyl Tetrazolium Chloride) reducing capacity, Nitrate Reductase (NR), and Glutamine Synthetase (GS), and reflect the effectiveness of N uptake and utilisation by crops.…”

The cultivated tomato Solanum lycopersicon L., a commercial annual crop that is grown all over the world for local consumption or export purpose. It belongs to the Solanaceae family and has diploid chromosome number (2n= 2X= 24). Application of fertilizers, insecticides and herbicides is crucial for improving productivity per unit area, however excess usage more than that of a recommended dose can lead to issues including environmental contamination (air, water and soil pollution). According to a thorough study, farmers exposed to chemical insecticide spray for a period of 18 months experience impaired vision symptoms like eye stinging or burning (18.42%), dry sore throat (21.05%), blurred vision (23.68%), nose burning (28.9%), shortness of breath and excessive sweating (34.2%), and skin itching or redness (50.0%). The purpose of this brief review article is to explore the function of various organic and inorganic nutrient sources in tomato crop by analysing previous works and studies. Integrated Nutrient Management (INM) is an approach that boosts the agricultural production and safeguards the environment for future generations.
