“substances or microorganisms whose function when applied to plants or the rhizosphere is to stimulate natural processes to enhance/benefit nutrient uptake, nutrient efficiency, tolerance to abiotic stress, and crop quality traits.”

Modes of Action: Biostimulants can work through various modes of action,

including:

Enhancing nutrient uptake and utilization by plants.

Stimulating root growth and development.

Improving plant tolerance to abiotic stresses such as drought, salinity, and temperature extremes.

Enhancing plant physiological processes such as photosynthesis and nutrient assimilation.

Stimulating beneficial microbial activity in the soil, leading to improved nutrient cycling and availability.

Benefits:

Enhance plant growth, vigor, and yield.

Improve crop quality, including increased nutrient content and enhanced shelf-life.

Increase plant resilience to environmental stresses, reducing crop losses due to drought, heat, or salinity.

Enhance nutrient use efficiency, reducing the need for synthetic fertilizers and minimizing nutrient runoff and leaching.

Promote sustainable agricultural practices by reducing chemical inputs and enhancing soil health and fertility.
