Biotic & Abiotic Stresses' Effect on Yield
In a typical farm operation, a significant amount of time is spent on managing biotic stresses such as diseases and pests. Less focus is put on managing crops' response to abiotic stresses - environmental factors such as extreme temperatures, drought, excess moisture, etc.
The figure below shows the impact of biotic and abiotic stresses on yield. The potential impact on yield of mitigating abiotic stresses is substantial. Biostimulants like PROCOTE OPTIMIZE can enhance crops' tolerance to adverse environmental conditions. This is one step growers can take to start minimizing losses and protect yield potential.
