Biochar for Mitigating Abiotic Stress in Plants provides a unique and leading resource for utilizing biochar to address specific plant health challenges, including osmotic, ionic, and oxidative stress. With a focus on crop yielding plants, the book provides targeted application insights to improve plant health, and resulting crop production. Readers will find important tools toward the identification, treatment, and management of a variety of abiotic stressors through the effective and appropriate application of biochar. This is an important reference for those seeking to apply current knowledge and an inspiration for further research in the area.Biochar is a carbon-rich organic substance produced by the pyrolysis of organic materials in the absence or presence of oxygen. It is an organic matter conditioner that can boost carbon sequestration and organic and inorganic pollutant immobilization. It is a crucial method for soil regeneration. Additionally, biochar facilitates increasing mineral supply and soil organic matter, resulting in soils with increased nutritional content.

Using Stimulants to Improve Plant Health examines biostimulants, chemical growth regulators, and phytohormones as levers to bolster plant resilience and productivity under abiotic and biotic stress. It outlines the physiological, biochemical, and molecular mechanisms that enable these agents to enhance tolerance to adverse soil and weather conditions and highlights cutting-edge advances in nanotechnology and precision agriculture.

With applied guidance insights, sample protocols, and real-world case studies, readers learn how to integrate stimulant-based strategies into operations-from smallholder farms to large-scale production-while prioritizing financially sound and ecologically responsible practices.

Structured into 16 chapters, each surveying a specific class of bioactive compounds and their modes of action, with practical agricultural applications, this authoritative volume will be invaluable to researchers, agronomists, extension professionals, and plant biologists dedicated to promoting plant health, achieving greater robustness and yield outcomes.

This book presents evidence-based approaches and techniques used to diagnose and manage organic solutes, oxidative stress, and antioxidant enzymes in crop plants under abiotic stressors. It discusses strategies in abiotic stress tolerance including osmoregulation, osmoprotectants, and the regulation of compatible solutes and antioxidant enzymes in plants. With contributions from 49 scholars worldwide, this authoritative guide is educational for scientists working with plants and abiotic stressors.

Edited by Arafat Abdel Hamed Abdel Latef, Professor of Plant Physiology at South Valley University, Egypt, this book is written for graduate students and scholars researching abiotic plant stressors.

“The book represents an excellent strategy to understand the mechanisms and techniques of antioxidant enzymes in the plant cell under stress conditions.” – Professor Mostafa El-sheekh

“Provides a thorough and detailed picture of the updated knowledge on the techniques used to manage organic solutes, oxidative stress and stress-related enzymes under abiotic stressors.” – Bhoopander Giri, Ph.D.

“Will serve as an imperative source of scientific literature in the plant stress biology field.” – Narendra Singh Yadav, Ph.D.

“The book has eighteen chapters written by scholars of international expertise in plant stress management.” – Dr. Sikander PAL, Senior Assistant Professor
