“…Various conventional (e.g., fertilization) and novel bioengineering strategies (e.g., genetically modified crops) are extensively developed to boost crop production and ensure food security and safety (Bailey-Serres et al, 2019 ). As a general consensus is emerging synthetic fertilizers that cause environmental threats to the local and global ecosystems (Koli et al, 2019 ), plant biostimulants (PBs) are potentially a tool to mitigate climate change-induced stress and reduce the dependency on chemical fertilizers (Hunter et al, 2017 ). The European Commission aims to replace 30% of chemical fertilizers with bio-based alternatives by 2050 (Hansen, 2018 ).…”

Today's agriculture faces many concerns in maintaining crop yield while adapting to climate change and transitioning to more sustainable cultivation practices. The application of plant biostimulants (PBs) is one of the methods that step forward to address these challenges. The advantages of PBs have been reported numerous times. Yet, there is a general lack of quantitative assessment of the overall impact of PBs on crop production. Here we report a comprehensive meta-analysis on biostimulants (focus on non-microbial PBs) of over one thousand pairs of open-field data in a total of 180 qualified studies worldwide. Yield gains in open-field cultivation upon biostimulant application were compared across different parameters: biostimulant category, application method, crop species, climate condition, and soil property. The overall results showed that (1) the add-on yield benefit among all biostimulant categories is on average 17.9% and reached the highest potential via soil treatment; (2) biostimulant applied in arid climates and vegetable cultivation had the highest impact on crop yield; and (3) biostimulants were more efficient in low soil organic matter content, non-neutral, saline, nutrient-insufficient, and sandy soils. This systematic review provides general biostimulant application guidelines and gives consultants and growers insights into achieving an optimal benefit from biostimulant application.

“…On the other hand, the high organic matter content in the soil may provide more carbon to facilitate microbial degradation of pesticides [47] , [51] . The poor correlation between soil organic matter and pesticides in vegetable farmland may be because fields of vegetables are subject to more frequent changes in cultivated crops, which results in different manure and pesticide usage [45] , [52] . Moreover, vegetable soils in the study area have a very little amount of organic matter (average 1.21% and maximum 2.21%).…”

“…Majorly, target organisms come in contact with the pesticides when applied directly by spraying on plants or indirectly. Certain applications of pesticides cause physical and biological damage to the target organisms by destroying key organs and interfering with some life processes such as photosynthesis, cell mitosis, and reproduction [6,28,29].…”

The increase in demand for agricultural produce necessitates the continuous search for affordable, ecofriendly, readily available crop protectors, and food preservatives. Historically, the use of various chemicals was employed in controlling plant diseases and to maintain food quality. In the past few decades, several natural product-based alternatives have been discovered and projected as better alternatives to synthetic pesticides and other synthetic agrochemicals. Recent studies focusing on the application of different botanicals in crop protection and food preservation were carefully selected and reviewed. The application of plant extract in the biogenic preparation of nanoparticles was also reviewed. This review confirms that several natural products can be used as a safe replacement for synthetic agrochemicals. Different plant extracts have also served as feed for the synthesis of nanoparticle, which is increasingly applicable in crop protection and food preservation.
