Prospects for Abiotic Stress Tolerance in Crops Utilizing Phyto- and Bio-Stimulants

Environmental stressors such as salinity, drought, high temperature, high rainfall, etc. have already demonstrated the negative impacts on plant growth and development and thereby limiting productivity of the crops. Therefore, in the time to come, more sustainable efforts are required in agricultura...
