Effect
Increased salt stress tolerance
Increased produce quality
Asir Horto treated basil showed sustained yield and quality components, but no effect on the volatile organic compound composition, with stronger effects on yield and polyphenols compared to the untreated control.. This contributes to the antioxidant composition and increases plants helf life. In low salt stress conditions the yield was benefited due to the direct effect on photosynthetic rate and water sue efficiency. In high stress conditions the inocolum causes Na sequesterng and sustains the plants uptake of P.
