Biostimulants are a diverse group of horticultural products used to enhance or stimulate a plant ’ s interior and exterior biological processes to benefit nutrient availability , nutrient uptake , nutrient use efficiency , tolerance to biotic and abiotic stress , water holding capacity , and by extension , crop quality and yield . Some biostimulants have also been found to stimulate plants ’ natural defence systems , increasing their resistance to pests and diseases .
Biostimulants can also cause positive effects within the rhizosphere such as more root growth , more root hairs , greater water holding capacity , and increased microbial activity that leads to greater nutrient availability for roots .
Biostimulants can include but are not limited to : Humic and fulvic acids · Protein hydrolysates · Seaweed and plant extracts · Chitosan and other biopolymers · Inorganic compounds · Beneficial microbes
Biostimulants do not replace nutrients , fertilizers , or pest control but are instead used to enhance natural processes for more efficient use of inputs , bigger growth , and superior yields .
