Humic substances (HS) are dominant components of soil organic matter and are recognized
as natural, effective growth promoters to be used in sustainable agriculture. In recent years …

Global food security for a growing population with finite resources is often challenged by
multiple, simultaneously occurring on-farm abiotic stresses (ie, drought, salinity, low and …

Recently, the agricultural sector is facing concomitant challenges of rising the productivity to
feed the growing global population and increasing the resources use efficiency, while …

Abiotic stresses strongly affect plant growth, development, and quality of production; final
crop yield can be really compromised if stress occurs in plants' most sensitive phenological …

Climate change is a critical yield–limiting factor that has threatened the entire global crop
production system in the present scenario. The use of biostimulants in agriculture has shown …

Plant-derived protein hydrolysates (PHs) have gained prominence as plant biostimulants
because of their potential to increase the germination, productivity and quality of a wide …

This review presents a comprehensive and systematic study of the field of plant
biostimulants and considers the fundamental and innovative principles underlying this …

Biostimulants, are a diverse class of compounds including substances or microorganism
which have positive impacts on plant growth, yield and chemical composition as well as …

Different substances from the natural origin which have beneficial effects on plant growth
and development, stress resistance, and crop yield and quality can be called biostimulants …

Field and laboratory experiments were carried out in 2012–2013, aimed at evaluating the
