Phosphite effects on sugarcane growth and biochemicals under <i>in vitro</i> osmotic stress
Phi significantly increased leaf length, width, and number, as well as shoot count. Additionally, it enhanced foliar concentrations of chlorophylls <i>a</i> and <i>b</i>, sugars, and amino acids under both conventional and osmotic stress conditions. In conclusion, Phi serves as an effective inorganic biostimulant for sugarcane (CP 72-2086) during <i>in vitro</i> multiplication, stimulating seedling growth and modulating essential biomolecule concentrations.
