Abstract The use of organic matter is a highly accepted environmental practice among scientists for the bioremediation polluted soils. In this manuscript we study under laboratory conditions capacity new biostimulant obtained from slaughterhouse sludge in soil by oxyfluorfen at rate 4 l ha −1 (manufacturer’s recommended) over 90-day period. We determined its effects on dehydrogenase, urease, β-...

Field research was conducted in 2017–2019 on “Princess 77” bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers.) to determine whether an amino acid based biostimulant program applied the late season (October-November) and early (March-April) could extend fall color retention (FCR) or hasten spring green-up (SGU), respectively. Bermudagrass treated with under five different managements: non-treated; 6 time...

The past decades have witnessed tremendous growth in the use of biostimulants in agriculture and it is estimated that biostimulants will grow to $2 billion in sales by 2018 (Calvo et al., 2014). Recognizing the need to establish a legal framework for the marketing and regulation of these products the European biostimulants industry council (EBIC, 2012) defined plant biostimulants as " containin...

Biostimulants are studied as a possible agricultural practice that anticipates the reproductive stages of chickpeas to avoid their coincidence with high temperatures and hydric stress periods. The effect several types biostimulants on different chickpea varieties was analyzed. Blanco Sinaloa variety showed opposite patterns respect biostimulant germination success vegetative radicular developme...

Biostimulants are innovative organic tools, which promote the growth, plant development, production, and quality of various crops without harming environment; however, effects biostimulants on production tomato needed to be explored further under open field conditions. Based this view, study’s objective was assess impact Kendal Root, a biostimulant-containing seaweed, Ascophyllum nodosum, extra...

Crop productivity and yields can be greatly diminished by abiotic stress events including drought, extreme temperatures, excess moisture, saline irrigation water. Multiple stressors occurring simultaneously further exacerbate the strain on plants. Various types of biostimulants have been shown to mitigate here, results 21 trials corn, wheat, soybean, various high-value crops are discussed in co...

Salinity is considered among the abiotic stresses most impacting agriculture for its ability to interfere with crop development and quality. For this reason, practices innovations that could contain deleterious effects of such stress are pivotal importance maintaining acceptable yields. In context, work has concerned study severe salt (100 mM NaCl) on maize seedlings a plant biostimulant (Megaf...

Physalis peruviana L. has great exploitation potential especially for small producers in the Brazilian Northeast. However, production semiarid regions may be limited by high salt content soils and water sources used irrigation. Thus, this study evaluated application of Ascophyllum nodosum seaweed extract as saline stress attenuator P. The randomized block design was used, an incomplete 5 × fact...

Peppers (Capsicum annuum) are one of the most widely cultivated vegetable crops, with per capita consumption bell and chile peppers being 11.4 7.7 pounds in 2017. Biostimulants an emerging sustainable alternative to enhance plant health by increasing photosynthetic activity, stress tolerance, nutrient uptake through various modes action. The effects different biostimulant applications largely r...
