Untargeted Metabolomics Coupled With Machine Learning Unravels Crop‐Specific Versus Generalized Effects of Biostimulants in Cucumber, Pepper, and Tomato

Physiologia Plantarum, Volume 178, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
ABSTRACT In recent years, agricultural practices have shifted toward sustainability, aiming to reduce the use of agrochemicals and rely more on bio‐based solutions. However, the effectiveness of these latter suffers from inconsistency. Understanding how different crops respond to biostimulants, instead of referring to a specific trial or crop, is a ...
