Blueberry is a highly demanded and consumed fruit due to its beneficial effects on human health, because of its bioactive compounds with a high antioxidant capacity. The interest in increasing the yield and quality of blueberries has led to the application of some innovative techniques such as biostimulation. The objective of this research was to assess the effect of the exogenous application of glutamic acid (GLU) and 6-benzylaminopurine (6-BAP) as biostimulants on flower bud sprouting, fruit quality, and antioxidant compounds in blueberry cv.

- K (potassium) and N (nitrogen) are crucial for optimizing strawberry yield and quality in soilless farming.
- A study tested various combinations of potassium and nitrogen levels in a specialized nutrient solution, resulting in 12 different treatments.
- Findings indicated that while high nitrogen levels boosted yield, potassium levels were key for achieving better fruit quality, highlighting the importance of balanced nutrient management for strawberries.
