“…Koleška et al [196] showed that the application of a biostimulant product named Viva ® on tomato plants, growing under reduced NPK nutrition, help counteract the negative effects of nutrient deficiency. For example, lycopene and chlorophyll content that is usually affected by the availability of macronutrients was preserved in treated plants grown with NPK reduction.…”

Biostimulants Application in Horticultural Crops under Abiotic Stress Conditions

Abiotic stresses strongly affect plant growth, development, and quality of production; final crop yield can be really compromised if stress occurs in plants’ most sensitive phenological phases. Additionally, the increase of crop stress tolerance through genetic improvements requires long breeding programmes and different cultivation environments for crop performance validation. Biostimulants have been proposed as agronomic tools to counteract abiotic stress. Indeed, these products containing bioactive molecules have a beneficial effect on plants and improve their capability to face adverse environmental conditions, acting on primary or secondary metabolism. Many companies are investing in new biostimulant products development and in the identification of the most effective bioactive molecules contained in different kinds of extracts, able to elicit specific plant responses against abiotic stresses. Most of these compounds are unknown and their characterization in term of composition is almost impossible; therefore, they could be classified on the basis of their role in plants. Biostimulants have been generally applied to high-value crops like fruits and vegetables; thus, in this review, we examine and summarise literature on their use on vegetable crops, focusing on their application to counteract the most common environmental stresses.

Different substances from the natural origin which have beneficial effects on plant growth and development, stress resistance, and crop yield and quality can be called biostimulants or biostimulators. Their physiological effects depend on their composition as they contain various organic and mineral compounds which plants can use as metabolites, growth regulators, and nutrients; however, biostimulants cannot be considered biofertilizers. Biostimulants applied in plant production have been widely considered as an environment‐friendly agricultural practice—and so are now among tools used in sustainable agriculture. Here, we discuss the results of the biostimulants’ effect investigations performed in Croatia, focused on horticultural crops, with edible plant species, such as tomato, garlic, bell pepper, lettuce, strawberry, garden cress, and basil, as well as ornamentals, such as wild rose, wax begonia, Mexican and French marigold, moss rose, everlasting flower, common zinnia, English primrose, and scarlet sage. The investigated biostimulants were applied at all plant growth stages, from germination to full plant and fruit or flower commercial maturity, using the seed treatment, foliar application, or irrigation. To evaluate biostimulant effectiveness, various morphological, physiological, and quality traits were analyzed. In this wide array of studies, the evaluated biostimulants mostly enhanced seed and transplant vigor, stimulated vegetative growth, improved nutrient acquisition and distribution within the plant, increased antioxidative capacity of plant tissues, contributing to higher stress tolerance, and improved plant yield and fruit/flower quality. In general, the research reviewed here implies possible benefits of biostimulant application in horticultural production, especially in stressful growth conditions, such as the transplant stage, reduced fertilization, or incidence of other abiotic stress. Considering possible interactions among the contained physiologically active compounds, the effects on plants may depend on dose, time of treatment, growth conditions, and plant species. Therefore, further research of biostimulant applications in horticultural production is suggested.

The response of Phaseolus vulgaris L. variety Quivican to the application of homeopathic medicines as growth promoters was assessed during its initial plant development. A completely randomized experimental design was applied with three homeopathic treatments: TH1 [MgM-31CH (Magnesium metallicum 31 CH)], TH2 [MaMnP-3CH (Magnesium-Manganum phosphoricum)], TH3 [TH1 + TH2), and distilled water as Control group. The analyses showed the best results in the plants that received TH3 with a significant increase (P ≤ 0.05) with respect to the control group in the following response variables: length of stem (47.14%) and root (30.27%); biomass of fresh root (13.57%), leaves (68.36%) and stem (11.88%); dry biomass of leaves (84.72%) and stem (36.11%); leaf area (21.74%), stem diameter (39.54%) and number of leaves (16.66%). These results confirm that agricultural homeopathy is an eco-friendly and technologically viable alternative for bean cultivation because it stimulates growth, which allows obtaining more vigorous plants with greater productive potential and less dependent on agrochemicals. Because homeopathic medicines are harmless, the balance of the agroecosystem is also improved, achieving a positive impact in the short, medium and long term besides their application in conventional and organic agricultural production.
