![]() The treatments were distributed as follows: During the trial, several evaluations were made mainly based on the plant’s physiological behavior. In this trial, the effects of the exogenous application of BIOFORGE, which contains patented Stoller Technology, were studied on improving the growth of tomato seedlings grown in a hydroponic system and subjected to high temperatures (40☌).ģ treatments were made based on the application of BIOFORGE using different doses (0.5 mL/L, 1mL/L and 2mL/L as well as 2 controls, (normal control and heat stress control). Stoller, which is a worldwide leader in the production of highly technological products based on plant physiology, has developed a unique product against stress, called BIOFORGE. To this end, it is of great interest to develop products that can efficiently combat stress conditions in crops at a physiological level, so as to reduce the negative effects produced on crop development and ultimately on the yields, thus keeping production losses at a minimum. Therefore, any adverse effect on crop production can directly affect food security, having dire consequences on the population of those areas. With the increasing population, food security becomes a major concern, especially in countries whose populational growth exceeds their agricultural production. It is estimated that by the year 2050, the global human population will grow until reaching 9.7 billion people. ![]() ![]() Crops face a multitude of adverse situations throughout their growth cycle, with abiotic stress in general, and heat stress in particular, being an ever-growing determinant factor of annual production losses worldwide. ![]()
