Solanum Crops with a Focus on the African Eggplant: The Potential of Biostimulants to Enhance Stress Tolerance

Noémie David-Rogeat, Martin R. Broadley & Eleftheria Stavridou · International Journal of Plant & Soil Science · 2023

Drought, salinity, and increased temperatures are a threat to food security and farmers’ income, especially in Africa where around 50% of the population is involved in agriculture. These stresses, often present together in field conditions, damage crops and can reduce yields to a...
