THE ROLE OF BIOSTIMULANTS IN IMPROVING THE PHYSIOLOGICAL STATUS OF SWEET PEPPER (Capsicum annuum L.) UNDER HIGH-TEMPERATURE AND WATER-DEFICIT CONDITIONS

This thesis examines the physiological changes that may occur in sweet pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) under high-temperature and water-deficit conditions, as well as the potential use of biostimulants to improve plant adaptation to stress factors. Water scarcity and high temperatures can adversely affect water relations, photosynthetic activity, plant growth, flowering, and fruit production. Therefore, it is important to scientifically evaluate the effects of biostimulants on plant physiological status, growth, and productivity under local soil and climatic conditions.
