Bioactivity of Ascophyllum nodosum in Mitigating Water Stress Induced by PEG-6000 in Maize Seeds
Water deficit is one of the main limiting factors for crop establishment and productivity, particularly during seed germination and early seedling development. This study aimed to evaluate the biostimulant potential of Ascophyllum nodosum extract applied to maize (Zea mays L.) seeds subjected to osmotic stress induced...
