Calcium lactate and salicylic acid foliar application influence eggplant growth and postharvest quality parameters

<p>Eggplant is one of the most popular and vital vegetable crops in the world. Various plant bio-regulators have been used in different crops to increase uptake of nutrients thereby leading to improvement in growth, flowering, fruit quality, storability and yield. The scope of this study was t...
