Synopsis

This book investigates multi-component seed coating technology as an innovative solution for enhancing faba bean performance under salinity stress. Salinity affects 20% of irrigated lands globally and 35% of Egypt's agricultural areas, threatening food security in arid regions. The research validates an advanced coating formulation containing gum Arabic, humic/fulvic acids, NPK fertilizer, salicylic acid, and Rhizobium leguminosarum that significantly outperforms conventional treatments. Under severe salinity stress, coated seeds improved germination by 17.3%, enhanced seedling vigor by 90.3%, and increased stress tolerance by up to 71.4%. The coating provided superior membrane stability, improved ion homeostasis, and reduced oxidative damage. Strong correlations between laboratory indices and field performance validate sustained productivity benefits. This comprehensive work bridges laboratory discovery and field application, providing researchers, agronomists, and practitioners with evidence-based insights into practical seed enhancement technologies for sustaining crop productivity on salt-affected soils.
