    Further research is needed to investigate the effects of nanoclay- and alginate-based soil amendments on wheat production under different environmental conditions. Studies should examine the potential of these amendments to improve drought tolerance in other crop species. Research should also investigate the economic and environmental feasibility of using these amendments in agricultural practice.
