Kombucha Microbiome as a Potential Microbial Biostimulant in Tomato: Formulation-, Dose-, and Application Route-Dependent Effects on Growth, Flowering, and Redox Metabolism

This study demonstrates that the Kombucha microbiome functions as a context-dependent microbial biostimulant for tomato, where its efficacy on growth, flowering, and redox metabolism is significantly influenced by formulation, dosage, and application route, with low-to-moderate doses generally offering the most balanced physiological benefits compared to commercial fertilizers.

Experimental and thermodynamic investigation of ash chemistry and combustion conditions governing biogenic silica production from agricultural biomass residues

This study demonstrates that citric acid pretreatment combined with optimized combustion conditions (550–650°C for 2 hours) significantly enhances the yield and quality of biogenic silica from various agricultural residues while effectively mitigating slagging risks through reduced alkali content.

Distinct Rhizosphere Regulatory Mechanisms of Single Superphosphate and Diammonium Phosphate in Maize Under Saline-Alkali Stress

This study reveals that while both Single Superphosphate (SSP) and Diammonium Phosphate (DAP) enhance maize growth and phosphorus uptake under saline-alkali stress, they operate through distinct regulatory mechanisms, with SSP primarily improving ion homeostasis and acidifying the rhizosphere, whereas DAP boosts antioxidant defense, soil enzyme activity, and available phosphorus levels.
