Biostimulants are living or non-living elements that can be applied to crops to enhance their growth and development, as well as their ability to tolerate stresses, thus increasing the plants’ resilience and overall health! These products will shape the future of a sustainable agri- and horticulture, which will have to adapt henceforward towards a more ecological approach.
In what way do biostimulants affect these plants? Well, they are able to withstand a variety of environmental stressors such as drought, heat, cold, salinity, pests and diseases. This makes biostimulants attractive for more sustainable and eco-friendly methods of plant production. These biostimulants also promote root and shoot growth, increase the number of flowers and fruits, and enhance the quality of the crops, leading to increased yield.
