Summary

ABSTRACT Increasing awareness of the adverse effects of agrochemicals is driving farmers to adopt more sustainable strategies for enhancing plant growth. Biostimulants have gained significant attention in both academic research and the horticultural industry as promising tools to promote growth, improve stress tolerance, and enhance crop performance, while reducing environmental impacts. This study, conducted from March to July 2024, evaluated the effects of different experimental biostimulants (EBs) on the growth, development, and productivity of wild strawberry plants (Fragaria vesca L., cv. “Malga”) cultivated under greenhouse soilless conditions. Despite their diverse origins, all tested EBs were sustainably derived from circular economy processes: (i) a suspension of freeze‐dried micr
