Implementation of an in vitro bioassay as an indicator of the bionutrient FitoMas E
Seed bioassays are employed to determine the stimulatory effect of various biological products on the seed germination of plants used for the detection and control of toxic environmental contaminants. The objective of the present study was to design an in vitro bioassay to monitor the quality of the...
