Different vegetal protein hydrolysates distinctively alleviate salinity stress in vegetable crops: A case study on tomato and lettuce by Monica Yorlady Alzate Zuluaga, Sonia Monterisi, Youssef Rouphael, Giuseppe Colla, Luigi Lucini, Stefano Cesco, Youry Pii

“…Hence, this study aimed to evaluate the sensitivity of tomato and lettuce plants grown under high salinity and the possible protective effects of four biostimulants based on vegetal protein hydrolysates. Plants were set in a 2 × 5 factorial experimental design completely randomized with two salt conditions, no salt (0 mM) and high salt (120 mM for tomato or 80 mM for lettuce), and five biostimulant treatments (C: Malvaceae-derived, P: Poaceae-derived, D: Legume-derived commercial ‘Trainer®’, H: Legume-derived commercial ‘Vegamin®’, and Control: distilled water). …”
