Using Stimulants to Improve Plant Health, 1st Edition, addresses the systematic application of chemical growth regulators, biostimulants, and phytohormones in maintaining agricultural productivity. The work analyzes methods to strengthen plant resilience under abiotic and biotic stress. Edited by Arafat Abdel Hamed Abdel Latef, this Academic Press volume was published in 2026 to establish a comprehensive technical reference.

Organized into 16 structured chapters, the content details major compound categories alongside their physiological modes of action. Coverage highlights advances in precision agriculture and nanotechnology, demonstrating how integrated technical applications help crops withstand severe environmental conditions, including poor soil quality and adverse weather patterns.

To assist ongoing laboratory and field operations, the 452-page publication provides practical guidance, sample protocols, and real-world case studies. The material offers structured support for researchers, agronomists, extension professionals, plant biologists, and environmental researchers engaged in crop management.
