Using Stimulants to Improve Plant Health: From Stress to Strength covers the pivotal role of stimulants, including biostimulants, chemical agents, and phytohormones in boosting plant resilience and improving productivity under both abiotic and biotic stressors. Providing readers with a clear understanding of the physiological, biochemical, and molecular mechanisms through which biostimulants, chemical stimulants, and phytohormones boost plants' ability to withstand both abiotic and biotic stresses, this book provides insights into the latest advancements in research and technology, such as nanotechnology and precision agriculture. With step-by-step instructions, practical tools, and case studies, it enables readers to integrate stimulant-based strategies into agricultural operations.

By prioritizing environmentally sustainable methods and showcasing eco-friendly stimulants, the book guides readers on how to adopt practices that are both financially smart and ecologically responsible. This expertly edited volume is divided into 16 thoroughly researched chapters that will be valuable for those interested in advancing sustainable agriculture and plant health.

Presents practical applications of stimulants in enhancing plant stress tolerance
Explores the mechanisms of action, molecular signaling pathways, and cellular responses associated with stimulants
Offers practical case studies and strategies to effectively incorporate stimulants into agricultural practices
Showcases emerging innovations, including nanotechnology and precision approaches in the application of stimulants
