Optimizing Soil Health and Maize Yield Under Salinity Stress with Compost and Sulfur Nanoparticles

Optimizing Soil Health and Maize Yield Under Salinity Stress with Compost and Sulfur Nanoparticles

Soil salinity poses a significant challenge to agricultural productivity, particularly in arid and semi-arid regions. This study explores the effect of compost, elemental sulfur (ES), sulfur nanoparticles (SNPs), and their combinations, i.e., compost + ES and compost + SNPs, to improve soil properti...
