Abstract:Because abiotic stresses pose significant challenges to the growth and productivity of crops, the development of plants with greater survival and growth when exposed to unfavorable situations is an objective of several research groups. Biostimulants are substances or microorganisms that, when applied to crops through the foliar or root pathways, serve to enhance various processes related to growth and development. These processes include nutrient absorption, tolerance to environmental stress, and overall harve… Show more
