Climatic stress, such as drought and extreme temperatures, represents a major threat to the growth and development of crops, including soybeans, which require a balanced water regime. Water is an essential component of plant life, and its absence is the most crucial abiotic factor negatively affecting the quality and quantity of agricultural production. According to the specialized literature, growth regulators positively influence the morphology, physiology, and quality of soybean production. Recent studies indicate that applying such products at optimal concentrations and growth stages can mitigate abiotic stress. Based on this premise, a study was conducted in the experimental field at ARDS Secuieni, aiming to determine the influence of growth regulators on the productive potential of soybeans. The experiment was bifactorial type, using two soybean varieties created by ARDS Turda and three growth regulators applied during the flowering period. The results highlighted that the tested regulators influenced the adaptability of the soybean varieties to drought.
