Agricultural biostimulants are biological or biologically derived fertilizer additives and similar products that are used in crop production to enhance plant growth, health, and productivity. They might achieve this by:
Improving the efficiency of the plant’s metabolism to induce yield increases and enhanced crop quality.
Increasing plant tolerance to and recovery from abiotic stresses.
Facilitating nutrient assimilation, translocation, and use.
Enhancing quality attributes of produce, including sugar content,
Enhancing certain physicochemical properties of the soil and fostering the development of complementary soil microorganisms.
