Modulating grapevine performance and hormonal dynamics under summer stress by the synergistic effects of kaolin and silicon

IntroductionClimate change is intensifying heat and drought stress in viticulture, negatively impacting yield and grape quality. High temperatures accelerate sugar accumulation and reduce organic acids, disrupting wine balance. Drought also lowers grapevine resilience by reducing stomatal conductanc...
