A seaweed extract–based biostimulant improves cotton nutrition, physiology, and yield under water scarcity
Cotton ( Gossypium hirsutum L.) production is constrained by water scarcity, and sustainable strategies are needed to improve resilience and productivity. Seaweed extract–based biostimulants (SEBs) are natural materials with the potential to enhance stress tolerance and nutrient use efficiency. This study evaluat...
