“…These results are in parallel with those obtained by (Zeljković et al, 2013), (Jawaharlal et al, 2013) and (Bulgaria et al, 2015) on the morphological development improvements of plants with the help of the nutritional supplement features of biostimulants. Also, the results (Parađiković et al, 2017) obtained from the biostimulant applications on the development parameters of B. semperflorens are similar to the increase in the plant height and leaf number data (Manda et al, 2014) found with the application of the humic acid and grape seed extract on the Spathiphyllum wallisii plant.…”

“…Wax begonia ( Begonia semperflorens ) is an annual ornamental plant commonly grown in urban parks and private gardens, adapted to grow in both full sun and semi‐shade. Low temperatures early in the season may lead to decreased nutrient uptake and plant growth, making it difficult to achieve the sufficient quality of begonia transplants for early outdoor planting (Parađiković et al., ). In many horticultural crops, transplantation stress may occur even in favorable growth conditions, until the root system of plantlets adapts to a new environment and starts supplying the plants with adequate water and nutrients amounts.…”

“…In many horticultural crops, transplantation stress may occur even in favorable growth conditions, until the root system of plantlets adapts to a new environment and starts supplying the plants with adequate water and nutrients amounts. Biostimulant Radifarm ® showed the potential of fostering root growth, transplant acclimatization, and further plant growth and development (Zeljković, Parađiković, & Oljača, ; Zeljković, Parađiković, Tkalec et al., ; Zeljković, Parađiković, Vinković, & Tkalec, ; Parađiković et al., ; Table b). Treated begonia plants had better nutrient uptake, higher free proline content in roots, higher plant fresh and dry weight, and more leaves and flowers per plant (Figure ).…”

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.

“…Many reports have revealed the positive impact of biostimulants on ornamental production from propagation and planting (El-Serafy 2015; El-Serafy and El-Sheshtawy 2017; Parađiković et al 2017) to postharvest (El-Sheshtawy and El-Serafy 2016; El-Serafy 2019; Hassan and Fetouh 2019), as well as on many horticulture crops (El-Serafy 2018;Ahmad et al 2019;Stamford et al 2019;El-Serafy and El-Sheshtawy 2020). Chitosan is a form of deacetylated chitin, obtained from the outer shell of Crustacea, such as crabs, krills, or shrimps (Sandford and Hutchings 1987), and found also in insects cuticle and fungi cell walls.…”

Cordyline is one of the most important indoor pot plants and has a high request in the global market. As a bio-stimulant, chitosan could be used to enhance the plant growth and productivity, despite the variation in growth analysis and phenotypic plasticity of several plant species in response to chitosan supplement. Cordyline seedlings were foliar sprayed with five concentrations of oligo-chitosan (0, 25, 50, 75, and 100 mg L −1) for 4 months. Oligo-chitosan induced rapid growth of cordyline seedlings, in terms of larger specific leaf weight (SLW) and higher relative growth rate (RGR A), as well as improving the efficiency of plant photosynthesis (high net assimilation rate (NAR) or low specific leaf area (SLA)). Root growth rate (RGR R) has also increased by 89.13% with the application of 50 mg L −1 oligo-chitosan, which reflected on higher plant biomass (BM) in comparison to the control. Consequently, root biomass (RM) showed the greatest plasticity index (PPI) that enhanced growth, productivity, and quality as well as the marketability of cordyline seedlings. Foliar spray of 50 mg L −1 oligo-chitosan improved plant growth, root development, and plasticity index, resulted in increased quality and marketability of cordyline seedlings.
