Example, to search for all recorded cases of biostimulant use on tomato mitigate effects of drought type: "tomato, drought"

Kelpak

Type: Seaweed extract, Company: Kelp products

Effect

No effect on drought stress tolerance
No effect on cold stress tolerance
No effect on salt stress tolerance

Kelpak treated South-African foxglove germinated in Petri dishes and kept under cold stress conditions had a 80 % lower survival rate (ns), a 77.9 % shorter shoot (ns), 84.1 % shorter roots (sign) and a 74.5 % lower vigour index compared to the untreated control in the same conditions. Kelpak treated South-African foxglow germinated in petri dishes and kept under drought stress conditions didn't grow in these conditions compared to the untreated control. Kelpak treated South-African foxglove germinated in petri dishes and kept under salt stress conditions had on average a 49.8 % lower survival rate, a 15.8 % shorter shoot, 60.1 % shorter roots and a 1.2 % higher vigour index compared to the untreated control. Kelpak had significant effects at NaCl concentrations of 15 mM.
