Active aeration enhances tissue hydration and fresh mass in hydroponic lettuce and modulates calcium-mobilizing biostimulant efficacy [PDF]
Scientific ReportsTipburn is a physiological disorder in lettuce (Lactuca sativa) that causes leaf margin necrosis, reducing marketability, and is exacerbated in hydroponic systems where calcium demand exceeds supply.

A calcium-mobilizing biostimulant provides tipburn control comparable to vertical airflow fans in greenhouse hydroponic lettuce ‘Rex’ [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant ScienceLettuce (Lactuca sativa) tipburn is a calcium-related physiological disorder affecting young, enclosed leaves, reducing marketability. Vertical airflow fans (VAFs) effectively control tipburn in greenhouses but are limited by installation complexity ...

Biostimulant alleviates abiotic stress of mango grown in semiarid environment [PDF]
Revista Brasileira de Engenharia Agrícola e Ambiental, 2020 The shoot maturation phase is important for growing mango tree because it precedes the floral induction, when plants are under stress caused by high temperatures and low water availability, that could be reduced by using plant biostimulant.
