Physiological effects of foliar-applied β-carotene and carrot root extract on growth, biochemical traits, and yield of two flax varieties grown in sandy soil

Flax (Linum usitatissimum L.) productivity in sandy soils is often constrained by limited water availability and reduced physiological performance. Although antioxidant-related foliar treatments may support crop performance, direct comparisons of purified β-carotene with carrot root extract, a natural multi-component b...
