Biostimulant potential of agro-industrial side-streams - sustainable sugar beet cultivation and drought tolerance in wheat
Okanlawon Lekan Jolayemi
Abstract:The biostimulant potential of three agro-industrial side-streams (hydrolysed wheat gluten (HWG), potato protein (PP/PF) and the chitosan derivative KitoFlokk™ (KF/KF200) and two chitosan types (KA and KB) was compared to that of untreated controls and nutrient solution in trials with three sugar beet genotypes (Volga, Armesa, Mustang) and two spring wheat genotypes (204, 276). In general, 1-2 g/kg HWG or PP/PF applied as a soil mix enhanced sugar beet growth and physiology. Sugar beet also responded positivel… Show more
