Hydromulching Enhances the Growth of Artichoke (<i>Cynara cardunculus</i> var. <i>scolymus</i>) Plants Subjected to Drought Stress through Hormonal Regulation of Source–Sink Relationships

Hydromulching Enhances the Growth of Artichoke (<i>Cynara cardunculus</i> var. <i>scolymus</i>) Plants Subjected to Drought Stress through Hormonal Regulation of Source–Sink Relationships

Mulching the soil with organic-based formulations (hydromulching) is a sustainable alternative to plastic mulching that is here hypothesized to maintain crop production under drought stress by hormonal and metabolic regulation of source–sink relationships. To test this hypothesis, artichoke plants w...
