Professor Chieh-Chen Huang and his team developed a smart agriculture system for head lettuce cultivation in Taiwan by integrating multifunctional endophytic biostimulants with field-based environmental monitoring and crop management data. Through production trials conducted in different seasons, they demonstrated that this system not only reduced cultivation costs by 50%, but also accelerated harvest and improved head quality. This work highlights the importance of endophytic biostimulants in sustainable agriculture and provides new insights into their practical application in crop production. The study was published in Agronomy (Hung et al., 2023).
