“…Conservation agriculture (CA), which consists of no tillage, retaining surface residue cover and adoption of sustainable rotations, helps in achieving twin objectives of reduced production cost and lower land degradation (Castro et al 1991;Choudhary et al 2019) and improves soil physical, chemical and biological properties (Bana et al 2020). Moreover, mulch cover and less soil disturbance in CA systems enhances soil moisture and nutrients status in the rhizosphere, specifically under semi-arid dryland ecologies (Bamboriya et al 2017a).…”

“…Foliar application of nutrients, especially micronutrients at later crop stages is of prime importance in enhancing the crop yields and increasing the use e ciency of micronutrients 31 . Moreover, absorption of foliar-applied nutrients is much faster than those applied into the soil [18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32] . During reproductive stages, roots are less e cient and nutrients are transported from leaves to grain or fruit 33 .…”

Micronutrient malnutrition or hidden hunger remains a major global challenge for human health and wellness. The problem results from soil micro- and macro-nutrient deficiencies combined with imbalanced fertilizer use. Micronutrient-embedded NPK (MNENPK) complex fertilizers have been developed to overcome the macro- and micro-element deficiencies to enhance the yield and nutritive value of key crop products. We investigated the effect of foliar applications of an MNENPK fertilizer containing N, P, K, Fe, Zn & B in combination with traditional basal NPK fertilizers in terms of eggplant yield, fruit nutritive quality and on soil biological properties. Applying a multi-element foliar fertilizer improved the nutritional quality of eggplant fruit, with a significant increases in the concentration of Fe (+26%), Zn (+34%), K (+6%), Cu (+24%), and Mn (+27%), all of which are essential for human health. Increasing supply of essential micronutrients during the plant reproductive stages increased fruit yield, as a result of improved yield parameters. The positive effect of foliar fertilizing with MNENPK on soil biological parameters (soil microbial biomass carbon, dehydrogenase, alkaline phosphatase) also demonstrated its capacity to enhance soil fertility. This study suggests that foliar fertilizing with a multi-nutrient product such as MNENPK at eggplant flowering and fruiting stages, combined with the recommended-doses of NPK fertilizers is the optimal strategy to improve the nutritional quality of eggplant fruits and increase crop yields, both of which will contribute to reducing micronutrient malnutrition and hunger globally.

“…For instance, up to 86% of a granular applied herbicide can be lost by misapplication and non-target loss, depending on the pot spacing and species (Gilliam et al, 1992). In addition, to maintain an acceptable weed control, nurseries often conduct frequent reapplications, leading to more runoff and leaching, causing environmental concerns (Horowitz and Elmore, 1991;Crossan et al, 1996Crossan et al, , 1997Bana et al, 2020). Moreover, herbicides drift from nearby farm fields could lead to crop damaged greater than 50%, causing huge economic losses depending on the farm size and plant species (Derr et al, 2020).…”

Weeds, as one of the biggest challenges in the nursery industry, have been controlled by various methods, such as chemical and non-chemical practices. Although these practices have been widely established and tested to control weeds, there is no systematic or meta-analysis review to provide quantitative weed control efficacy information of these practices. To provide a systematic understanding of weed control practices in nursery production, a visualization research trend, a systematic review, and a meta-analysis were conducted. A total of 267 relevant studies were included for the research trend and 83 were included in the meta-analysis. The results in this study showed that interests in nursery weed control have switched dramatically in the past 2–3 decades (1995–2021) from chemical dominant weed control to chemical coexistent with non-chemical techniques. Developing new management tactics and implementing diverse combinations of integrated weed management present the future trend for weed control. The systematic review results showed that chemical methods had the highest weed control efficacy, while non-chemical had the lowest on average, nonetheless, all three weed control practices (chemical, non-chemical, and combined) reduced the weed biomass and density significantly compared with when no strategy was employed. Weed control challenges could be the catalyst for the development of new non-chemical and integrated weed control techniques.
