Two captivating case studies are presented to illustrate the successful commercialization of these innovative products.
The second chapter delves into the realm of humic substances (HS) as plant biostimulants, emphasizing their role in enhancing the physical and chemical properties of soil. It also discusses the production techniques employed to generate HS.
The third chapter presents a comprehensive review of the extensive research conducted on key biostimulants, including Bacillus species, Pseudomonas species, Trichoderma species, and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi. This chapter explores their mechanism of action, diverse applications, and remarkable efficacy in promoting plant growth and enhancing soil health.
The fourth chapter focuses on the recent advancements in the utilization of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) as a powerful tool for enhancing crop root function and nutrient use. It addresses the challenges associated with practical adoption and implementation of PGPR in commercial agricultural settings.
The concluding chapter explores the multifaceted applications of biostimulants in horticulture. It examines their role in promoting plant growth, fostering soil structure, and effectively suppressing pests and diseases. By integrating biostimulants into agricultural practices, farmers can achieve sustainable productivity, resilience, and environmental sustainability.
This collection serves as a valuable resource for researchers, practitioners, and stakeholders in the field of agriculture, providing valuable insights into the latest developments and advancements in biostimulant technology.
