Plant Biostimulants: Targeted Objectives and Mechanism of Action

Achievements in agrochemical science have enabled fertilizer manufacturers to implement innovative solutions in their products. Faster and higher-quality plant growth, protection against diseases and pests, increased yield, improved resilience and resistance to adverse weather conditions — advantages that are highly valued in the agricultural sector. Biological stimulants are the true embodiment of scientific research in the form of substances capable of accelerating plant development to achieve the final goal of farmers.

What objectives do growth stimulators help achieve?

For the agricultural sector, as well as for private garden plots, it is important to obtain expected results after sowing crops. If timely application of fertilizers is not ensured, the work done may be rendered meaningless. It is recommended to use reliable biostimulants and fertilizers. They not only eliminate possible complications but also increase crop yields by at least 15-25%.

Complex targeted action

Using additional substances during the cultivation of different crops and plants allows achieving:

• reduction of plant disease incidence;
• increased field germination rate after sowing seeds;
• enhanced cold and drought resistance;
• development of symbiotic microflora in the root zone;
• improved rooting process of young plants after transplanting seedlings;
• provision of high energy during seed germination while preserving the plant's genotype.

How do biostimulants work?

Special substances exert targeted effects when applied to plants. For example, they can accelerate RNA and protein biosynthesis, enabling restoration of metabolic processes under high temperature conditions. The opposite task related to cold resistance is achieved differently — through root system development and increased capacity to accumulate sugars. When addressing fruit crops, stimulators target cell division. This effect positively impacts fruit size, color, and ripening speed.

The uniqueness of the technology is individually tailored for each specific plant or fruit crop. It is necessary to use the required stimulants in a specific sequence, determined by the growth stage (seeds, seedlings, stem and leaf development). It is important to adhere to the principle of adequate dosage. Overapplication will not yield positive results. When properly and intelligently applied, biological plant stimulants deliver results exceeding expectations, as proven by years of experience of farmers and hobbyist gardeners.
