Abstract:
Biostimulants that are applied to soil have the ability to promote the establishment and proliferation of beneficial soil organisms, which in turn serve as plant growth substrates. In light of the ongoing processes of soil deterioration and air pollution, it is especially necessary to use environmentally friendly natural remedies. Plant growth-promoting biostimulants include, but are not limited to, enzymes, protein hydrolysates, seaweed extracts, humic substances, nitrogen-fixing bacteria, phosphorus-solubilizing bacteria, and rhizobacteria. Even while a biostimulant may not have an immediate effect, there is still a chance that it may improve the health of the soil over time, resulting in higher yields in subsequent years.
