“…The non-microbial biostimulants include beneficial plant botanicals or natural plant biostimulants seaweed extracts and their raw materials like protein hydrolysates, amino acids containing products, humic substances, etc. can improve crop productivity even under environmental stress (Pichyangkura and Chadchawan, 2015;Drobek et al, 2020;Rouphael et al, 2020b;Del Buono, 2021).…”

Environmental stressors such as salinity, drought, high temperature, high rainfall, etc. have already demonstrated the negative impacts on plant growth and development and thereby limiting productivity of the crops. Therefore, in the time to come, more sustainable efforts are required in agricultural practices to ensure food production and security under such adverse environmental conditions. A most promising and eco-friendly way to achieve this goal would be to apply biostimulants to address the environmental concerns. Non-microbial biostimulants such as humic substances (HA), protein hydrolysate, plant-based products and seaweed extracts (SWE), etc. and/or microbial inoculants comprising of plant growth-promoting microbes such as arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), fluorescent and non-fluorescent Pseudomonas, Trichoderma spp., Bacillus spp. etc. have tremendous potentiality to enhance plant growth, flowering, crop productivity, nutrient use efficiency (NUE) and translocation, as well as enhancing tolerance to a wide range of abiotic stresses by modifying physiological, biological and biochemical processes of the crop-plants. Similarly, application techniques and timing are also important to achieve the desired results. In this article we discussed the prospects of using seaweed, microbial, and plant-based biostimulants either individually or in combination for managing environmental stresses to achieve food security in a sustainable way. Particular attention was given to the modifications that take place in plant's physiology under adverse environmental conditions and how different biostimulants re-program the host's physiology to withstand such stresses. Additionally, we also discussed how application of biostimulants can overcome the issue of nutrient deficiency in agricultural lands and improve their use efficiency by crop plants.

“…Biostimulants containing plant extracts can increase plant biomass, increasing leaf, root, and shoot fresh weight. The application of biostimulants also stimulates photosynthesis in plants with the ability to increase leaf area, which correlates with an increase in photosynthesis rate [27]. Applying a biostimulant to lettuce plants, except for the leaf area, led to a 9.0% increase in shoot fresh weight compared to the control group [28].…”

By controlling environmental conditions, indoor farming can increase plant growth, productivity, and harvest quality. An additional element that can enhance lettuce yield is the utilization of plant biostimulants. These substances can boost nutrient absorption efficiency, enhance resistance to environmental stresses, and foster positive impacts on plant growth and maturation. This study examined the impact of red and green romaine lettuce with different plant biostimulants (Viva®, Megafol®, Radifarm®) added to AB mix on lettuce growth under white LED lighting on 30 days of cultivation. The MANOVA tests showed that different varieties of romaine lettuce and plant biostimulants substantially affected chlorophyll b, total chlorophyll, leaf number, leaf area, leaf weight, and root weight. A polynomial growth model was also obtained from height data collected during 30 days of planting, with an optimal R2, RMSE, MAE, and MAPE reaching the optimal value of 0.9926; 0.50; 0.46; 1.72, respectively, for red lettuce with Viva®, and 0.9930; 0.11; 0.29; 2.37, respectively, for green lettuce with Viva®. In addition, Pearson Correlation analysis between each treatment indicated a positive and substantial correlation in various growth indices, up to 0.901.
