Summary

Relevance . Biostimulants based on different compounds is increasingly used in agriculture due to the need to increase plant yield under unstable climate conditions. Exogenous application with amino acids on various agricultural crops increased productivity, the content of biologically active compounds, and improved their resistance to abiotic stress. Common chicory is a promising medicinal plant for obtaining pharmaceutical substances with a high content of chicory acid. Due to the content of various classes of phenolic compounds in the leaves, extracts from the aboveground part of chicory have an immunomodulatory and hepatoprotective effect. Methods .
