Biostimulants: improving plant growth and health

In the modern world, where natural resources are under severe pressure, biostimulants play a key role in improving plant growth, increasing yields and maintaining ecological balance. They are actively used not only in agriculture but also in medicine.

What is a biostimulant?
Biostimulants are natural or synthetic compounds that stimulate physiological processes in living organisms. In agriculture, they promote plant growth and development, boost immunity and improve stress tolerance, for example to drought, cold or soil salinity. In medicine, biostimulants are used to regenerate tissues, improve metabolism and strengthen the immune system.

The main types of biostimulants are
Plant-based biostimulants

Marine algal extracts, humic and fulvic acids.
They accelerate photosynthesis, stimulate root formation and improve nutrient uptake.
Microbial biostimulants

Contain beneficial micro-organisms that improve soil quality.
Examples are Rhizobium and Azotobacter bacteria.
Organic compounds

Amino acids, vitamins, antioxidants.
They are used not only to support plant health, but also animal and human health.
Synthetic biostimulants

Growth hormone derivatives (auxins, gibberellins, cytokinins).
Used to accelerate fruit ripening and improve fruit quality.
