Summary
Globally, agriculture is facing a pressing situation, such as climate change, degradation of soil health and the necessity for sustainable food production. Biostimulants provide novel solutions to improve agricultural practices and crop productivity. Biostimulants are plant-promoting substances/microorganisms that are organic and help to increase the nutrient uptake, growth and yield of the crop, provide tolerance to abiotic and biotic challenges and improve product quality. Humic acid (HA), fulvic acid (FA), protein hydrolysates, seaweed extracts, chitosan, microbial biostimulants such as arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR), inorganic compounds like silicon, selenium and phosphite are different types of biostimulants to enhance plant production and
