TL;DR: The obtained results postulate strong evidence that the application of Mel along with Ca2+ enhances resilience against As toxicity by upregulating the activity of plasma membrane H+-ATPase, enzymes involved in antioxidant system, and ascorbate-glutathione pathway.

TL;DR: Application of KN significantly enhanced growth and biomass production of normally grown plants and also mitigated the adverse effect of NaCl on stressed plants to a considerable extent, resulting in a considerable reduction in tissue Na+/K+ ratio.

TL;DR: It is suggested that melatonin has beneficial effects on tomato seedlings growth under both stress and non-stress conditions and its role in tolerance to salt stress may be associated with the regulation of enzymes involved in photosynthesis, the antioxidant system, metabolism of proline and carbohydrate, and the ASC—GSH cycle.

TL;DR: The crucial role of Bacillus firmus SW5 is demonstrated in ameliorating the adverse effects of high salinity on soybean growth and performance via altering the root system architecture and inducing the antioxidant defense systems and stress-responsive genes expression.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors highlight the consequences of large-scale fertilizer inputs on soil health, the impact on water bodies is also discussed, and highlight the major environmental concern including the eutrophication of fresh water bodies and enrichment of the soil with toxic heavy metals and radionuclides.
