Amelioration Of Snap Bean Growth, Yield, Quantity And Nutritional Status Under Salinity Stress By Using Spirulina Algae Extract And Amino Acids
Main Article Content
Abstract
Salinity stress is a major abiotic stress that limits agricultural production and threatens global food security due to rapid climate change. Salt stress negatively affects the growth, yield and quality of crops. Amino Acids and Spirulina Algae Extract are well-known biostimulants that have positive effects on plant growth and productivity and significantly reduce damage caused by abiotic stress. Therefore, this study investigated the effect of several treatments with spirulina extract and amino acids on snap bean plant growing under saline soil stress. Field experiment was carried out during the two successive summer seasons of 2021 and 2022 under saline soil at private farm in Faqus - Sharkia Governorate, to study the effect of spirulina algae and amino acid concentrations as foliar spray on growth, yield quantity and quality and nutritional status of snap bean cv, Bronco. The experiment was executed in split plot design, three rates of spirulina algae extracts (0, 1 and 2 cm3 L-1) were distributed on main plot and another three level of amino acids (0, 500 and 1000 mg L-1) were arranged on subplot. Finally, main and subplot were replicated three times.
The results can be summarized as follows: Under saline soil condition, spraying snap bean plants with different concentrations of spirulina extract and amino acids three times led to an improvement in plant growth, crop quantity and quality as well as nutritional status, compared to the experimental treatment in which both were not used. The highest values of growth, yield and content of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium were obtained by spraying 2 cm3 L-1 of spirulina extract with 1000 mg L-1 of amino acids under two consecutive seasons. Thus, it can be said that Therefore, the spirulina algae extract and amino acids are considered one of the safe solutions to get rid of the effect of soil salinity on the snap bean plant, and then obtain a high yield and also high quality.
