“…They are involved in the stimulation of plant physiological processes and improved plant shoot/ root growth. They minimize chemical fertilizer use, are cost-effective, enhance plant's tolerance to biotic and abiotic stresses, boost yield, and, more importantly, offer an environmentally friendly approach (Bashir et al, 2021 ; Rehim et al, 2021 ; Bell et al, 2022 ; Samuels et al, 2022 ). European Biostimulant Industry Council (EBIC) reported that biostimulants improve the nutrient use efficiency and uptake in plants, counteract the influence of biotic and abiotic stresses, and improve crop quality (Bashir et al, 2021 ).…”

An ever-increasing population has issued an open challenge to the agricultural sector to provide enough food in a sustainable manner. The upsurge in chemical fertilizers to enhance food production had resulted in environmental problems. The objective of the current study is to assess the utilization of biostimulants for sustainable agricultural production as an alternative to chemical fertilization. For this purpose, two pot experiments were conducted to examine the response of radish against individual and combined applications of biostimulants. In the first experiment, the effects of chemical fertilizer (CK), glycine (G), lysine (L), aspartic acid (A), and vitamin B complex (V) were studied. The results demonstrated that V significantly improved the transpiration rate (81.79%), stomatal conductance (179.17%), fresh weight (478.31%), and moisture content (2.50%). In the second experiment, tested treatments included chemical fertilizer (CK), Isabion® (I), glycine + lysine + aspartic acid (GLA), moringa leaf extract + GLA (M1), 25% NPK + M1 (M2). The doses of biostimulants were 5g L−1 glycine, 1g L−1 lysine, 2g L−1 aspartic acid, and 10 ml L−1 moringa leaf extract. The photosynthetic rate improved significantly with GLA (327.01%), M1 (219.60%), and M2 (22.16%), while the transpiration rate was enhanced with GLA (53.14%) and M2 (17.86%) compared to the Ck. In addition, M1 increased the stomatal conductance (54.84%), internal CO2 concentration (0.83%), plant fresh weight (201.81%), and dry weight (101.46%) as compared to CK. This study concludes that biostimulants can effectively contribute to the sustainable cultivation of radish with better growth and yield.

“…These organisms may also produce biologically active compounds (vitamins, growth regulators, antibiotics, siderophores and plant nutrients) that improve the quality of the cultivated soils and the growth and yield of crop plants (Maurya et al, 2019). Inoculating microbial consortia may increase microbial diversity in the soil, especially in poor or depleted soils, allowing the use of the mineral wealth of nutrients and may improve the growth conditions of crops (Bell et al, 2022;Silva et al, 2022).…”

“…During the last two decades, the use of microbial inoculants for the purpose of biofertilization and/ or biostimulation and biological control or bioprotection for the management of pests and diseases in crops has increased. This has led researchers to focus some work on the isolation, identification, characterization and large-scale production of these microorganisms as well as the use of mixed inoculations of biological consortiums on crops (Bell et al, 2022;Silva et al, 2022). In this sense, current research aims to evaluate the effect of the inoculation and co-inoculation of microbial consortiums formed by mycorrhizal fungi, antagonistic bacteria and Trichoderma harzianum for the biological regulation of gray mold (B. cinerea) in strawberries (Fragaria × ananassa Duch, var.…”

In the Bogota Plateau (Bogota Savanna-Colombia), strawberry cultivation (Fragaria × ananassa Duch.) is established from 2,000 to 2,800 m a.s.l. In this environment the relative humidity is generally greater than 70% and the temperature fluctuates between 14 and 22°C; this is a favorable climate for the development of fungal diseases. Gray mold (Botrytis cinerea) is the most important disease here and fruit losses can exceed 40% of production. The purpose of this research was to analyze the effect of the use of microbial antagonists in the biological regulation of B. cinerea and its relationship to production. Fragaria × ananassa Duch, cv. Monterrey plants were inoculated and co-inoculated (combination) at the time of transplantation with microbial consortia made up of mycorrhizal fungi, antagonistic bacteria and Trichoderma harzianum. We evaluated the temporal incidence of B. cinerea and the production of healthy fruits at 90, 180 and 270 days after transplantation. We observed a temporary increase in the incidence of the disease from 6.59 to 23.08% in the control plants, and higher values than those observed with biological treatment. Treatment with mycorrhizae showed the lowest values of B. cinerea with values from 0.89, 13.78% and the best treatment in fruit production. Inoculation and co-inoculation are an alternative for reducing the incidence of disease and for increasing fruit production.

“…In the latter sector, the application is aimed at increasing the vitality and resistance of plants while achieving commercial standards, which is a prerequisite for producing quality commodities [3,4] Based on what has been described so far, the use of natural plant biostimulants (PBs) is a promising and environmentally friendly trend that is gaining increasing importance [5]. PBs also promote and enhance flowering, growth, crop setting, yield and nutrient use efficiency (NUE), in addition to their ability to improve tolerance to environmental factors [6][7][8][9]. The benefits provided also have implications for the use of biostimulants, with their use projected to increase by 10.4% per year globally until 2030 [10].…”

Biostimulants and other plant growth promoters can provide an effective solution to the challenge of urbanisation and climate change. Viburnum opulus ‘Roseum’ is a globally popular deciduous shrub species that can be made more resistant to urban influences by using natural growth-promoting substances. In our study, we investigated the effects of growth promoters Kelpak®, Bistep and Yeald Plus on the species, both histologically and physiologically (proline stress hormone measurement). Our measurements were complemented using the analysis of rhizosphere alkaline phosphatase, β-glucosidase and β-glucosaminidase enzymes, to obtain a more complete picture of the combined effect of biostimulants and species. We found that the Bistep biostimulant had an outstanding effect on the leaf tissue culture results of the variety. The transpiration and evapotranspiration findings also confirmed the efficacy of biostimulants. In the case of POD activity and rhizosphere enzyme measurements, Bistep and Yeald Plus obtained statistically higher values than the control group. Kelpak produced better results than the control group in several measurements (alkaline phosphatase levels; evapotranspiration results), but in other cases it resulted in lower values than the control treatment. The use of Bistep and Yeald Plus can greatly assist growers in the cultivation of V. opulus ‘Roseum’ in an urban environment.
