The effect of Atonik biostimulant on greenhouse pepper under salinity stress
Atonik significantly improved growth, physiological, and biochemical traits in both pepper varieties under salt stress. The combination of 100 mM NaCl and 100 mg L<sup>- 1</sup> Atonik (S100 with At100) emerged as the most effective treatment, enhancing the plants' overall resilience and biochemical profiles. While these findings highlight Atonik's potential as a valuable tool for mitigating salinity effects on pepper plants, future research should investigate the underlying molecular mechanisms, conduct multi-season trials, and evaluate its economic viability to fully understand its role in economic agriculture.
