The results revealed that maximum performance in morphological traits such as plant height, leaf length, leaf width, and flower diameter was recorded in <i>C. morifolium</i> cultivars grown in soil-less conditions compared with soil cultivation. However, a marginal increase in the number of flowers per plant was observed in soil-cultivated cultivars. Further, the number of days to flowering was shortened in <i>C. morifolium</i> cultivars grown in soil-less conditions compared to plants grown in soil cultivation. The growth biomass of flowers, chlorophyll content of leaves, total carbohydrates, total sugar, and total carotenoids content of the flowers produced from soil-less cultivation were enhanced compared to that of soil cultivated flowers. However, a slight decrease in total phenolics, flavonoids, and antioxidant capacity was observed in flowers obtained from soil-less cultivation compared to the soil-cultivated ones. A total of 49 volatile compounds were identified in flowers, with eucalyptol being the predominant compound in <i>C. morifolium</i> produced under both cultivation systems.

This work provides a series of poly(vinyl alcohol)/carboxymethyl cellulose sodium (PVA/CMC-Na) membrane-coated urea granules with slow-release and water retention properties. The primary objective was to fabricate a series of PVA/CMC-Na membranes by blending PVA and CMC-Na, cross-linking them using glutaraldehyde (GA) or citric acid (CA), and incorporating alkaline lignose (AL). Characterization results showed that the membranes exhibited excellent thermal stability and compatibility. Among them, the PCN/CA membrane (cross-linked with CA, and not containing AL) indicated the lowest water uptake (WU, 75.35%) and nutrient permeability (<i>P</i>_S, 8.73 × 10^–04 cm²·day^–1). After 63 days, the biodegradation ratios (BDEs) of the five membranes ranged from 38.76 to 71.67%, indicating excellent biodegradability. Moreover, the urea granules were coated with PVA/CMC-Na membranes using a drum granulation method. When applied to soil at 2.00 wt %, the PCN/GA/AL-CU granules (coated with the PCN/GA/AL membrane, which was cross-linked with GA and incorporated with AL) had the highest maximum water retention capacity (WRC_Max) of 53.20% and the lowest soil moisture evaporation rate (<i>R</i>_SME) of 72.32%. The nutrient release duration of the coated urea granules lasted approximately 30 days, with nutrient release behavior following a first-order kinetic model well.

Synthetic Fe-chelates are commonly used to address this issue, but they pose risks of leaching and groundwater contamination. Nano-sized fertilizers like nanometavivianite (nano-metaVT) and chitosan-coated nano-metaVT (nano-CT-metaVT) offer a promising alternative by targeting the rhizosphere more effectively. Despite previous success with bulk metaVT in mitigating Fe deficiency, its extremely low solubility (<i>K</i>_sp = 10^–36) in dilute solutions has raised questions about its efficacy. This study investigates the solubility of nano-metaVT and nano-CT-metaVT in diluted electrolyte solutions (KCl) and calcareous soil-saturated paste extract (SPE), which contains soil-relevant organic compounds like low-molecular-weight organic acids, amino acids, fulvic acid, and humic acid. Additionally, the impact of beneficial soil microbes─<i>Pseudomonas chlororaphis</i> O6 and <i>Pseudomonas protegens</i> Pf-5─on solubility was examined. Findings reveal that the chitosan coating enhances the solubility of nano-CT-metaVT in SPE suspensions. Inoculation with <i>Pp</i> Pf-5 significantly increases the total soluble Fe concentration for both nano-metaVT and nano-CT-metaVT, not only by lowering environmental pH but potentially through other unidentified mechanisms. The results highlight key factors affecting the solubility of nano-metaVT fertilizers, such as coating materials, soil microbe, and organic ligands in the soil environment.
