Unraveling effects of foliar protein hydrolysates on growth, physiology and water-use efficiency of greenhouse tomato and common bean
The growing demand for sustainable crop management has intensified interest in protein hydrolysates (PHs) as bioactive biostimulants. While the efficacy of foliar PH applications has been documented in tomato at concentrations of 2.5 mL/L and above, or through combined foliar-drench programs, evidence for significant a...
