Nowadays, Salinity and Allelopathy are the key factors causing decrease in growth and productivity of almost all the crops. An alternative approach for coping with salinity and Allelochemical stress could, therefore, be to attempt to supplement essential sodium antagonistic minerals through foliar application. This idea behind the present work is to diminish effect of salinity and allelopathy in plant to a tolerable level. The aim of the present study was to assess as to whether foliar applications of micro nutrients were effective in inducing salt stress tolerance in sunflower plants....

Salinity is the major environmental factors that lead to a deterioration of agricultural land and a reduction in crop productivity worldwide. The given investigations were undertaken to find out the effect of salinity and allelopathy on growth, biochemical contents and accumulation of Osmo-protectants in studied Crop and also to assess whether exogenous application of some essential micronutrients (Mn+B+Zn) through foliar spray could ameliorate the adverse effects of salt+ allelochemical stress on growth and biochemical activities of methi plant. Foliar spraying with micronutrient induced...

Several environmental factors adversely affect plant growth, development and yield performance of crop. More than 900 million hectares of land world-wide, approx. 20 % of the total agricultural land, are affected by salinity Osmotic stress induced by soil salinity affects plant growth and development. Salinity alters general metabolic processes and enzymatic activities, causing increased production of reactive oxygen species. In some plants increased resistance to a biotic stresses has been achieved by exogenous application of various organic solutes. This approach significantly contributes...
