Effect of Biostimulant Application on Plant Growth, Chlorophylls and Hydrophilic Antioxidant Activity of Spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.) Grown under Saline Stress

Christophe El-Nakhel et al.

Summary: Salinity problems in irrigated agricultural lands can be mitigated by the application of eco-friendly approaches such as protein hydrolysates. A greenhouse experiment on spinach showed that foliar application of a protein hydrolysate from vegetal origin helped mitigate the adverse effects of saline stress, increasing chlorophyll content and yield. The results provide valuable insights into the effects of protein hydrolysate application on leafy vegetables, aiding growers in maintaining high crop yield and quality under saline conditions without access to alternative irrigation water sources.

Assessment of Yield and Nitrate Content of Wall Rocket Grown under Diffuse-Light- or Clear-Plastic Films and Subjected to Different Nitrogen Fertilization Levels and Biostimulant Application

Ida Di Mola et al.

Summary: The quantity and quality of wall rocket production are influenced by the cultivation system, and using a diffuse-light film can increase yield and reduce nitrogen fertilizer usage. However, the biostimulant application did not have a clear effect on reducing nitrate content.

Ultraviolet Transparency of Plastic Films Determines the Quality of Lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) Grown in a Greenhouse

Deissy Giovanna Quintero-Arias et al.

Summary: The quality of red lettuce is determined by the content of anthocyanin pigments, which increase with exposure to ultraviolet radiation. UV-transparent plastic film can enhance the red color and commercial quality of the 'Lollo Rosso' cultivar, while no effect on yield was observed for 'Casabella' and 'Vera'.

Light-altering cover materials and sustainable greenhouse production of vegetables: a review

Xin He et al.

Summary: Research suggests that using advanced greenhouse cover materials with variable light transmittance can enhance light transmission in greenhouses, affecting crop physiology and yield. In-depth understanding of the effects of light changes on crop biological processes, particularly key processes during fruit development and ripening, can promote research on energy-efficient cover materials.

Optical Characteristics of Greenhouse Plastic Films Affect Yield and Some Quality Traits of Spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.) Subjected to Different Nitrogen Doses

Ida Di Mola et al.

Summary: The study found that using Film B can increase spinach yield and chlorophyll content, while decreasing ascorbic acid content. Additionally, both nitrogen dose and greenhouse films significantly increased nitrate content, but remained within the legal limit set by the European Commission.
