Seed priming with pyroligneous acid mitigates aluminum stress, and promotes tomato seed germination and seedling growth

Aluminum (Al) toxicity in acidic soils is a major constraint for seed germination and crop growth. Pyroligneous acid (PA) is rich in bioactive compounds that can enhance crop growth and tolerance to environmental stresses including toxic trace elements, but under studied. In this study, we investiga...
