Are applications of a biostimulant based on Ascophyllum nodosum able to reduce lactofen phytotoxicity in soybean plants?

Abstract The herbicide lactofen, a protoporphyrinogen oxidase (PPO) inhibitor, induces phytotoxicity in soybean ( Glycine max ), which is typically characterized by the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and subsequent degradation of the photosynthetic apparatus. This...

Ascophyllum nodosum Extract Promotes Vegetative Growth and Sugar Yield in Ratoon Sugarcane

Maintaining the productivity and technological quality of sugarcane during ratoon cycles represents a constant challenge for the sugarcane-energy sector, driving the adoption of biostimulants. This study aimed to evaluate and compare the effects of different biostimulants on the...
