Saline soil is one of the major abiotic stresses that minify plant growth and crop productivity in arid and semiarid regions. A pot experiment was conducted during the summer season of 2019 to evaluate the effect of zeolite and urea fertilizer on growth and yield of maize grown under saline conditions. The experiment design was Factorial RCBD with four replicates, the first factor was zeolite level {0 (control), 2, 4 and 6 %} and the second factor was urea fertilizer level {0 (control), 30, 60 and 90 kg N/fed}. Results showed a significant increase in the vegetative growth characteristics of maize i.e. plant height, fresh and dry weight, total chlorophyll (SPAD), and leaf area under zeolite application treatments as compared with control (0% zeolite). Among the studied zeolite rates, 6% zeolite treatment resulted the highest vegetative growth parameters. Moreover, the application of urea fertilizer at 90 kg N/fed recorded the highest values of vegetative growth parameters, as compared with untreated treatment (control) which gave the lowest values of these traits. Zeolite application also enhanced plant NPK content and soil available NPK as compared with the untreated soil. The highest plant NPK content and soil available NPK were recorded under 6% zeolite rate. Similarly, application of 90 kg N/fed of urea fertilizer produced the highest plant NPK content and soil available NPK as compared with control. These results revealed that zeolite amendment mitigated salt stress, improved plant growth, and enhanced absorbing nutrients by plant and retaining nutrients in soil. The results concluded that zeolite amendment can be an efficient tool to increase crop productivity and food production, reduce nutrient losses and environmental pollution, and to expand the agricultural utilization of the low-quality soil in arid and semi-arid regions.
盐碱地是干旱和半干旱地区影响植物生长和作物生产力的主要非生物胁迫之一。2019年夏季,通过盆栽试验,研究了沸石和尿素肥对盐碱条件下玉米生长和产量的影响。试验设计为析因RCBD,共设4个重复,第一因子为沸石水平{0(对照)、2、4和6%},第二因子为尿素水平{0(对照)、30、60和90 kg N/料}。结果表明,与对照(0%沸石)相比,施用沸石处理显著提高了玉米的营养生长特征,即株高、鲜重和干重、总叶绿素(SPAD)和叶面积。在所研究的沸石浓度中,6%沸石处理的营养生长参数最高。氮素/投喂量为90 kg的尿素处理的营养生长指标最高,而未处理(对照)的营养生长指标最低。与未处理的土壤相比,施用沸石也提高了植株氮磷钾含量和土壤有效氮磷钾含量。在6%沸石率下,植株氮磷钾含量和土壤有效氮磷钾含量最高。同样,与对照相比,施用90 kg N/ d尿素肥的植株氮磷钾含量和土壤有效氮磷钾含量最高。结果表明,沸石改性可以缓解盐胁迫,促进植物生长,增强植物对养分的吸收和土壤中养分的保留。结果表明,沸石改性是提高干旱半干旱区低质量土壤的作物生产力和粮食产量,减少养分损失和环境污染,扩大农业利用的有效工具。

Two field experiments were conducted during two winter successive seasons 2019/2020 and 2020/2021 at the National Research Station, Area, Egypt. The purpose of the study was to investigate the link between vegetative development, yield, yield components, and numerous metabolic variables components of the "Giza 716" Egyptian faba bean cultivar (Vicia faba L.) to foliar application of three growth regulators; paclobutrazol (PBZ; 30, 60 and 90 ppm), mepiquat chloride (MC; 500, 1000 and 1500 ppm) and baritone (AGR; 400, 600 and 800 ppm). The foliar application of PBZ, MC, and AGR had positive effects on all growth and yield parameters. On the other hand, the three growth regulators reduced plant height, fresh and dry weights of branches and leaves/plant, fourth leaf area and leaf area index, specific leaf weight, crop growth rate, net assimilation rate, relative growth rate, and yield (number of pods per plant, number of seeds per pod, pod weight/plant, seed and straw yield/plant, seed and straw yield/feddan, seed index), and harvest index), when used in high concentrations. By boosting total carbs, crude protein, total free amino acids, nitrogen, phosphate, and potassium, PBZ, MC, and AGR considerably boosted total photosynthetic pigments content in leaves and improved seed quality and nutritional value. Generally, foliar application of PBZ, MC, and AGR When used at low quantities, it had a favorable impact on growth parameters, photosynthetic pigments, seed yield and yield components, as well as several biochemical components of the faba bean seeds yield. net assimilation rate (NAR), and relative growth rate (RGR), as compared with untreated control plants, highly significant. Data also show the most effectiveness treatments were AGR at 400 and 600 ppm followed by PBZ at 30 ppm for all growth parameters. Foliar application of PBZ up to 60 ppm, significantly increased the area of fourth leaf (4 th LA), leaf area index (LAI), specific leaf weight (SLW), crop growth rate (CGR), net assimilation rate (NAR), and relative growth rate (RGR) compared with relevant untreated control units. compared control plants.
