Biostimulants are substances and microorganisms used in agriculture to improve plant growth, health, and productivity.
Biostimulants work by enhancing plant nutrient uptake, stress tolerance, and root growth, among other benefits. Biostimulants differ from fertilizers in that they do not directly provide nutrients to plants but rather stimulate natural processes within the plant to promote growth and health.
There is no universally accepted definition of biostimulants, but they are generally considered to include a wide range of substances, such as humic and fulvic acids, amino acids, seaweed extracts, microbial inoculants, and plant growth-promoting substances. Biostimulants can be applied to plants through soil drenching, foliar spraying, seed coating, or fertigation. Several of our pre harvest solutions are offered as biostimulants.
The use of biostimulants has been growing in popularity in recent years as a way to improve plant growth and productivity while reducing the need for synthetic inputs. Biostimulants have been shown to improve crop yield, quality, and stress tolerance in a variety of crops, including fruits, vegetables, cereals, and ornamentals.
