“…Investigations conducted so far have mainly been focused on the quantitative determination of growth promotion and crop yield increase after biostimulant application 75,76 . A complex approach to this problem was presented by Mariano 74 , who estimated expenditures and incomes of a farm determined by the use of a caragenin biostimulant in rice production. His study demonstrated that the application of this preparation improved the gross margin of the farmer.…”

“…According to Mariano 74 , such an approach to the evaluation of the impact of using growth regulators would encourage a greater number of farms to engage in the sustainable agriculture through the use of biostimulants. Investigations conducted so far have mainly been focused on the quantitative determination of growth promotion and crop yield increase after biostimulant application 75 , 76 .…”

“…In this case, the costs of labor constituted the majority of expenditures; they were followed by costs incurred on the purchase and application of biostimulants, and finally by the expenditures associated with the purchase of sowing materials. As claimed by Mariano 74 , the use of fertilizers was minimized owing to the use of the biostimulant. In addition, the economic indicators determined in the study showed that the expected profits exceed the predicted costs.…”

The implementation of agronomic activities, based on the use of biostimulants, is an important element of agroecological practices. Therefore, comprehensive research was carried on the use of biostimulants. A field experiment was performed in 2016–2018 with common bean of Mexican Black cultivar. In particular growing seasons, bean plants were treated with Kelpak SL (seaweed extracts) and Terra Sorb Complex (free amino acids) in the form of single and double spraying with two solutions concentrations. According to the obtained data, application of biostimulants increased the yield of bean. Better results were observed after the use of Kelpak SL. The application of preparations influenced nutritional and nutraceutical quality of bean seeds. Terra Sorb Complex caused the highest increase in proteins level. In the light of achieved data, biostimulants in similar level decreased the starch accumulation. The most promising results, in the context of nutraceutical value of bean, were obtained in the case of increasing level of fiber. A positive impact of biostimulants on the seeds antioxidant potential was noted, expressed by the increased synthesis of phenolics, flavonoid, anthocyanins and antioxidant activities. Results of this study, directly indicate economic benefits from the use of biostimulants, which are extremely important to the farmers.
