Effect of Combined Applications of Ocimum and Moringa Extract‐Based Biostimulants on the Gladiolus Morphophysiological and Biochemical Aspects Under Drought Stress

New Zealand Journal of Crop and Horticultural Science, Volume 54, Issue 1, March 2026.
Drought stress (DS) is the most damaging climatic factor that hinders the growth and ornamental quality of floricultural crops. Improving the floricultural crop's ability to withstand DS is of great importance to the ornamental plants industry. Moringa leaf extract (MLE) as a biostimulant has been reported to improve the DS tolerance in various ...
