Effect of chitosan on the growth and productivity of Solanum lycopersicum

Chitosan is a natural biopolymer that is extracted from the exoskeletons of crustaceans, however, it has different applications at an industrial level, in the agricultural field it is used to improve nutrition and crop yield, also to free plants from stresses that are...
