Biostimulant modulate the physiological and biochemical activities, improving agronomic characteristics of bell pepper plants under salt stress by André Lucas Januário Silva, Otília Ricardo de Farias, Élida Barbosa Corrêa, Claudivan Feitosa de Lacerda, Alberto Soares de Melo, Mônica Danielly de Mello Oliveira

“…Conducted in a factorial design with a completely randomized layout and five replications, and the results indicated that salinity caused a significant reduction in growth, decreased chlorophyll levels, and increased malondialdehyde levels, osmoregulators, and antioxidant enzyme activity. Plants treated with biostimulant demonstrated relatively superior growth parameters, such as plant height, dry matter, leaf area and number of leaves, as well as fruit quality, such as fruit size, firmness, ascorbic acid and soluble solids. …”
