Antioxidant Responses in Chromium-Stressed Maize as Influenced by Foliar and Root Applications of Fulvic Acid

Antioxidant Responses in Chromium-Stressed Maize as Influenced by Foliar and Root Applications of Fulvic Acid

Abstract Maize (Zea mays L.) faces significant challenges to its growth and productivity from heavy metal stress, particularly Chromium (Cr) stress, which induces reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and damages photosynthetic tissues. This study aimed to investigate the effects of fulvic acid (...
