Overview

Biostimulants are natural or synthetic substances that stimulate plant growth and development, improve nutrient uptake, and enhance stress tolerance. By promoting root growth, increasing nutrient efficiency and boosting resistance to abiotic stresses such as drought and salinity, biostimulants contribute to more resilient and productive agricultural systems. These products often consist of organic compounds, humic substances, seaweed extracts or beneficial microbes, which interact with plants to modulate physiological processes and improve overall performance. Sustainable agriculture practices which incorporates biostimulants reduce dependency on synthetic fertilizers and pesticides, thus lowering input costs and decreasing negative environmental effects. Moreover, biostimulants offer opportunities to optimize resource utilization and support agroecological principles, fostering long-term agricultural sustainability. Most of the topics introduced in this book cover new techniques and the applications of biostimulants. Such selected concepts that redefine sustainable agriculture have been presented in this book. Those with an interest in this field would find this book helpful.
