Optimizing Biostimulant Application for Drought Stress Mitigation in Solanum lycopersicum Seedling Development
This research investigates the efficacy of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) biostimulants in enhancing physiological resilience of tomato seedlings under water-deficit conditions.
How do varying concentrations of PGPR-based biostimulants influence the physiological and biochemical stress response of tomato seedlings under drought conditions?
Knowledge gap
What remains worth asking
The precise dosage-response relationship of specific biostimulants in maintaining hormonal balance and antioxidant activity under severe water stress requires further validation.
Potential contribution
Why it may matter
Offers a sustainable agricultural strategy to improve crop yields and soil health in water-scarce environments.
