Compost as an eco-friendly alternative to mitigate salt-induced effects on growth, nutritional, physiological and biochemical responses of date palm by Mohamed Ait-El-Mokhtar, Abdessamad Fakhech, Raja Ben-Laouane, Mohamed Anli, Abderrahim Boutasknit, Youssef Ait-Rahou, Said Wahbi, Abdelilah Meddich

“…NaCl stress induced high lipid peroxidation and H2O2 accumulation; however, the application of compost lowered these two parameters in stressed plants through stimulation of the antioxidant enzymes activity and increasing soluble sugars and proline accumulation.Conclusion Results suggest that the green waste-based compost can boost date palm seedlings tolerance in salt-affected soils by mitigating the different adverse effects of salinity stress.…”
