biostimulants

25 articles

Biostimulants are substances or microbial cultures applied to plants or soil to enhance growth, stress tolerance, and nutrient uptake without functioning as conventional fertilizers or pesticides. They work by leveraging the plant's natural relationships with its surrounding ecosystem—including beneficial microorganisms and signaling compounds—to improve physiological performance. Research into biostimulants is advancing sustainable agriculture by offering alternatives to synthetic inputs while deepening understanding of how plants respond to their biological environment.
