Scientific Advances in Biostimulation Reported in the 5th Biostimulant World Congress

Horticulturae, 2022
Biostimulants are agronomic products that have become highly important in agriculture, as they are formulated with substances capable of stimulating physiological and biochemical processes in plants that help them adapt to different detrimental environmental conditions such as drought, salinity, high temperatures, nutritional deficiencies, etc. in such

Foliar application of algal biostimulant improves the quality of peach fruits

European Journal of Horticultural Science
To improve the quality of peach fruits, foliar sprays of algal biostimulant at different concentrations (600-, 900-, 1200- and 1500-fold dilutions) were applied to peach trees, aiming to investigate the effects of the biostimulant on peach fruit quality.

Innovations in polysaccharide‐based hydrogels in sustainable agriculture

Polymer International, EarlyView.
Polysaccharide‐based hydrogels are promising in sustainable agriculture, as these natural polymers have the ability to absorb water and nutrients and release them gradually in the soil, in addition to ensuring biodegradability and lower cost. However, some challenges still need to be overcome.

Impact of plant breeding on the responsiveness of maize and wheat varieties to an arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal symbiont

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Field inoculation with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) offers a promising route to improve sustainable agriculture and food production, yet results are often variable. We investigated the mycorrhizal growth response of maize and wheat varieties recommended for farmers and found substantial variation under greenhouse conditions.

The first RNAi‐based biopesticide approved in the United States: regulatory implications for the European Union – the case of Ledprona (Calantha™)

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
The approval of the RNA interference‐based biopesticide Ledprona (Calantha™) in the USA marks a milestone for RNA‐based crop protection. We discuss the regulatory implications for the European Union, highlighting opportunities, challenges, and the need for adapted risk assessment frameworks for RNA‐based plant protection products.

Chlorantraniliprole: bioactivation in coffee seedlings and control of resistant Leucoptera coffeella populations

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Chlorantraniliprole enhanced growth and biomass in coffee seedlings infested by susceptible Leucoptera coffeella, while resistant populations limited its insecticidal performance. These findings emphasize both the bioactivator potential of chlorantraniliprole and the challenges of managing resistance in coffee leaf miner control.
