Bio-Based Amendments Influence Yield and Quality of Basil (Ocimum basilicum L.) Grown in Moderately Saline Soil

Cultivation on saline soils is becoming increasingly necessary to meet the growing global demand for food, particularly in the Mediterranean basin, where an estimated 25–35% of agricultural soils are affected by salinity-related constraints. Addressing this growing challenge requires more than the use of desalinated or...

Combining non-microbial biostimulants and different application methods affects yield, antioxidant activity, nutritional and functional value of pea and arugula microgreens

Microgreens are considered a good source of nutritional and functional compounds, offering humans significant health benefits. Biostimulants are recognized as a sustainable tool to elicit growth and development of vegetables. The aim of this research was to evaluate the effects of a plant protein hydrolysate (PH) and a...
