Plant growth regulator extracts from seaweeds promote plant growth and confer drought tolerance in canola (Brassica napus).

ABSTRACT: Brassica napus, commonly known as canola, is an important oilseed crop in Canada contributing over $29.9 billion CAD to the Canadian economy annually. A major challenge facing Canadian canola is drought, which has become increasingly prevalent in recent years due to the changing climate. Research investigating novel agronomic techniques in mitigating drought is key to securing yields and sustainability in canola and other crops. One such technique is the use of bio-stimulant sprays to help offset biotic and abiotic stresses in plants through promoting stand establishment. Previous studies have shown that the application of seaweed extracts as bio-stimulant sprays to Brassicaceae has been successful in improving plant growth and development along with stress tolerance. However, this
