Implication

Field trial demonstrates improved wheat yield and grain nutritional quality under sandy soil conditions using combined fungal and organic biostimulants, highlighting a sustainable farming strategy.

Key Points

To evaluate the integrated effects of microbial and non-microbial biostimulants on wheat growth, physiological attributes, yield, and grain quality in sandy soils.
Conducted field experiments evaluating wheat (Triticum aestivum L. cv. Sakha-94) grown in sandy soil conditions.
Tested grain co-inoculation using phosphate-solubilizing fungi (Trichoderma harzianum and Aspergillus niger) combined with potassium sulfate (200 mg/L), tryptophan (50 mg/L), and banana peel extract (500 and 1000 mg/L).
Biostimulant combinations boosted straw yield by 34.2%, biological yield by 38.9%, grain yield by 44.1%, and water productivity by 44.12%.
Co-inoculation paired with 1000 mg/L banana peel extract achieved peak increases in chlorophyll a (31.4%), chlorophyll b (83.6%), and grain carbohydrates (12.5%), while 500 mg/L extract increased protein by 33.2%.
Potassium sulfate plus tryptophan with fungal co-inoculation increased indole-3-acetic acid by 34.9% and improved grain accumulation of N, P, K, and Mg by 33.2%, 41.7%, 16.2%, and 44.2%, respectively.
