Application of an Enzymatic Hydrolysed L-α-Amino Acid-Based Biostimulant to Improve Sunflower Tolerance to Imazamox

Herbicides, commonly used in agriculture to control weeds, often cause negative effects on crops. Safeners are applied to reduce the damage to crops without affecting the effectiveness of herbicides against weeds. Plant biostimulants have the potential to increase tolerance to a series of abiotic stresses, but very limited information exists about their effects on herbicide-stressed plants.

This study aims to verify whether the application of a potential safener such as Terra-Sorb®,...
