Key Findings
- The study, conducted in Türkiye, investigated how biostimulants and a copper-containing fungicide can help cotton seedlings cope with low-temperature stress
- Both animal-derived and seaweed-based biostimulants, as well as the copper-containing fungicide, improved the growth and health of cotton seedlings under cold conditions
- These treatments increased seedling weight, plant height, stem diameter, and chlorophyll content, suggesting better overall plant health and stress tolerance
