INNOVATIVE METHODS TO MITIGATE BIOTIC AND ABIOTIC STRESS IN FRUIT CROP

In the realm of agriculture, fruit crops play a pivotal role, not only in meeting global food demands but also in sustaining livelihoods and fostering economic growth. However, the cultivation of fruit crops is incessantly challenged by a myriad of stressors, both biotic and abiotic in nature, which impede optimal productivity and quality. To address these challenges, innovative approaches to mitigation have become imperative, heralding a new era of resilience and sustainability in fruit crop production. In the mitigation of biotic and abiotic stresses in fruit crops necessitates a paradigm shift towards innovative approaches that prioritize sustainability, resilience, and environmental stewardship. By embracing integrated pest management, biological control, precision agriculture, biostimulants, and stress-tolerant cultivars, stakeholders can foster a future where fruit crop production is not only economically viable but also ecologically responsible, ensuring food security and livelihoods for generations to come.
