Abstract excerpt
Defatted microalgal biomass represents a potentially sustainable resource for biostimulant production, reducing waste from biodiesel processing while enhancing crop resilience to abiotic stress. This study evaluated the potential of defatted Chlorella sp. extract as a biostimulant to alleviate salinity-induced stress in barley (Hordeum vulgare) grown hydroponically under electrical conductivity levels of 2, 8,...
