Project Description

In this experiment, C. chinense pepper plants were categorized in two groups, one treated with seaweed extract biostimulant and the other without any biostimulant. The hypothesis was that if a dosage of seaweed extract biostimulant was added to the soil of pepper plants, then fruit production would be higher than in the control group.
