The Applications of Molecular Hydrogen in Horticulture

Improvements in the growth, yield, and quality of horticultural crops require the development of simply integrated, cost-efficient, and eco-friendly solutions. Hydrogen gas (H<sub>2</sub>) has been observed to have fertilization effects on soils by influencing rhizospheric microorganisms...

Ample studies have shown that H<sub>2</sub> has positive effects on horticultural crops, such as promoting root development, enhancing tolerance against abiotic and biotic stress, prolonging storage life, and improving postharvest quality of fruits, vegetables and cut flowers.
