Atriplex halimus water extract: a biochemical composition that enhanced the faba bean plants growth

The burgeoning world population is exerting immense pressure on the agricultural sector to increase yield production, which has resulted in the widespread use of chemical products by farmers. However, these chemicals can have detrimental effects on both human health and the environment. To mitigate these risks, it is crucial to identify natural solutions that are less harmful to both humans and the environment. This study explores the impact of Atriplex halimus extract on the growth of Vicia faba L. broad vetch plants by testing three different concentrations (0.1%, 0.25%, and 0.5%) of the extract. The findings reveal that Atriplex halimus extract has a positive effect on various physiological and biochemical parameters of the plants, which ultimately leads to improved growth. Specifically, the treated plants displayed a significant ( p
