Abstract

Horticultural crops are vital for human health; however, these crops face various abiotic stresses affecting yield and quality. Biostimulants offer a promising solution to enhance crop resilience against stresses like heat, drought, cold and salinity. This article explores the role of biostimulants in mitigating such stresses, with application timing and methods vary based on crop type and stress severity. Sustainable agricultural practices incorporating biostimulants can boost horticultural crop productivity and secure nutritional security.
