Summary: This study explored the potential of using a microbial-based biostimulant to enhance the agronomical, physiological, and functional quality of greenhouse-grown lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) under varying water availability regimes. The biostimulant contained two strains
Summary: This study explored how the combined use of microbial-based biostimulants and plant-derived protein hydrolysates (PHs) can enhance the tolerance of greenhouse-grown lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) to the challenges posed by salinity and alkalinity, conditions
Summary: Arbuscular mycorrhizal inoculation significantly improves the growth, yield, and physiological resilience of zucchini plants under conditions of soil acidity and aluminum toxicity. The inoculation helps maintain better nutritional status, reduces the detrimental effects of
Summary: This study focuses on evaluating the biostimulant effects of two beneficial microorganisms—*Glomus intraradices* BEG72 (G) and *Trichoderma atroviride* MUCL 45632 (T)—on various vegetable crops. The study examines their individual and combined effects on plant
Summary: Lettuce, a major food crop in the European Union, can associate with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), which can stimulate the synthesis of secondary metabolites, increasing plant tolerance to stresses and enhancing antioxidant compounds. A
Summary: This study investigates the potential of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi to enhance the tolerance of two Cucurbitaceae species, cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) and zucchini squash (Cucurbita pepo L.), to bicarbonate stress in irrigation water.
Summary: The study investigated the combined effect of phosphorus (P) application and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) on the growth and accumulation of arsenic (As) and phosphorus in lettuce plants grown in As-polluted soil. The experiments
Summary: In a greenhouse experiment conducted during the spring-summer of 2009, researchers aimed to investigate two hypotheses concerning arbuscular-mycorrhizal (AM) inoculation and fertilization regimes on zucchini plants (Cucurbita pepo L.). The first hypothesis proposed that
Summary: In a greenhouse experiment aimed at assessing the potential benefits of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) inoculation in overcoming salinity challenges and examining the influence of phosphorus (P) concentration on zucchini (Cucurbita pepo L.) plant responses
Summary: The aim of this study was to assess whether arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) inoculation using a biofertilizer containing clays, leek root pieces, and Glomus intraradices spores could enhance the alkalinity tolerance of two cucumber genotypes
