| Brittney Allen Chill Out! Abiotic Stress Tolerance in Plants
Défi: | Découverte | Catégorie: | Sénior | Région: | Fundy | Ville: | Saint John , NB | École: | St. Malachy's Memorial High School | Sommaire: | This experiment evaluated the effectiveness of antioxidant biostimulant foliar sprays on improving growth and abiotic stress tolerance of lettuce germinants. Foliar sprays were applied eleven days post germination for 4 weeks. Foliar spray combination of Ascophyllum nodosum extract and Vaccinium angustifolium protected plants from chilling and reduced abiotic stress. Antioxidant sprays were less effective at improving abiotic stress tolerance, although improved growth results were observed. |
