Can Biostimulant Work as a Water Stress Attenuator in Corn Crop?

Adequate positioning of technologies that aim to minimize losses caused by abiotic stress has great applicability in crop management. The objective of this work was to evaluate the effect of 1 Gabriel Luiz Piati is a Agronomy PhD student (crop production), with articles published on the following topics: grain production system, soil physics, cover crops, use of biostimulants in agriculture and nitrogen fertilization.
