Exposure of crops to stress is the most significant barrier to agricultural output and food
security worldwide. Stress induces changes in plants' physiological functions, which leads to …

Key message Plant bioregulators play an important role in managing oxidative stress
tolerance in plants. Utilizing their ability in stress sensitive crops through genetic …

Soil salinity is established as one of the major environmental problems, decreasing crop
productivity worldwide, thereby threatening sustainable agriculture. In the present study, we …

Plant growth is often affected with hampered physiological and cellular functioning due to
salinity and drought stress. To assess the effectiveness of plant bioregulators (PBRs) in …

Seed priming is a pre‐germination treatment administered through various chemical,
physical and biological agents, which induce mild stress during the early phases of …

Seed osmopriming improves germination performance of seeds under normal and stressed
environmental conditions, a feature possibly associated with 'stress memory'. To investigate …

In the present time, chemical fertilizers are more in practice for crop production which
affected the soil and environment quality. The higher amount of chemical inputs in …

Background The reliance on chemical inputs to support high yields is the Achilles' heel of
modern crop production. The soil organic matter management is as old as agriculture itself …

Abstract Effect of plant bio–regulators (PBRs) viz., potassium nitrate (KNO 3, 15 g L− 1), thio–
urea (TU, 500 ppm), salicylic acid (SA, 10 μM), gibberellic acid (GA 3, 25 ppm) and sodium …

Water scarcity severely impacts agricultural productivity and quality in arid and semi–arid
regions. Specific elicitors like plant growth regulators (PGRs) and bio–stimulants as well as …
