Physiological and Multivariate Characterization of Chitosan-Indiced Drought Tolerance in Groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) Seedlings
Early-stage drought stress severely limits seedling establishment in groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.), necessitating effective biostimulant-based approaches to enhance drought tolerance. This study aimed to identify the optimum foliar concentration of chitosan for improving seedling growth and physiological performance...
