Whey protein hydrolysates enhance grapevine resilience to abiotic and biotic stresses
In the tested conditions, whey PHs serve as effective biostimulants, enhancing grapevine resilience to combined drought and heat stress while providing protection against grapevine pathogens. Although further validation in vineyard conditions is needed, this dual benefit of PHs may propose a potential sustainable alternative to reduce chemical inputs in viticulture, contributing to more environmentally friendly agricultural practices.
