Effect
No effect on drought stress tolerance
Phylgreen treated Rhododendron, cv. Graziella, grown in drought and nutrient stress showed a non significant increase in average plant diameter, no differences in plant height, a non significant higher fresh weight and a non significant higher dry weight as compared to the untreated control grown in the same conditions. Phylgreen had a positive effect on Chlorophyll content in the leaves as compared to the untreated control grown in the same conditions. (Bio4safe Project)
