A calcium-mobilizing biostimulant provides tipburn control comparable to vertical airflow fans in greenhouse hydroponic lettuce ‘Rex’ [PDF]

Frontiers in Plant Science
Lettuce (Lactuca sativa) tipburn is a calcium-related physiological disorder affecting young, enclosed leaves, reducing marketability. Vertical airflow fans (VAFs) effectively control tipburn in greenhouses but are limited by installation complexity ...

The Use of a Plant-Based Biostimulant Improves Plant Performances and Fruit Quality in Tomato Plants Grown at Elevated Temperatures

Agronomy, 2020
Abiotic stresses can cause a substantial decline in fruit quality due to negative impacts on plant growth, physiology and reproduction. The objective of this study was to verify if the use of a biostimulant based on plant and yeast extracts, rich in ...

Reducing Nitrogen Input in Barley Crops While Maintaining Yields Using an Engineered Biostimulant Derived From Ascophyllum nodosum to Enhance Nitrogen Use Efficiency

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021
Intensive agricultural production utilizes large amounts of nitrogen (N) mineral fertilizers that are applied to the soil to secure high crop yields. Unfortunately, up to 65% of this N fertilizer is not taken up by crops and is lost to the environment ...

Biostimulant alleviates abiotic stress of mango grown in semiarid environment [PDF]

Revista Brasileira de Engenharia Agrícola e Ambiental, 2020
The shoot maturation phase is important for growing mango tree because it precedes the floral induction, when plants are under stress caused by high temperatures and low water availability, that could be reduced by using plant biostimulant.

Enhancing Irrigation Salinity Stress Tolerance and Increasing Yield in Tomato Using a Precision Engineered Protein Hydrolysate and Ascophyllum nodosum-Derived Biostimulant

Agronomy, 2022
Most vegetable crops are salt sensitive, growing inadequately in salinised soils due to the accumulation of toxic ions from prolonged irrigation regimes. Plant biostimulants are a potential tool that can be used to counteract salinity stress and increase

The Effect of an Engineered Biostimulant Derived from Ascophyllum nodosum on Grass Yield under a Reduced Nitrogen Regime in an Agronomic Setting

Agronomy, 2022
Nitrogen (N) is the most important macronutrient used in modern agricultural systems to enhance crop yields; however, a significant amount of applied N is not taken up by the crop and is lost to the environment. Improving the nitrogen use efficiency (NUE)
