Use of biostimulants in the development and productivity of soybean

Abstract

Recent studies point to a great potential in the use of biostimulants, which are important for increasing plant biomass, crop yield and resistance to multiple types of stress (Calvo et al., 2014; Nardi et al., 2016; Souza Neta et al., 2016). By using these substances in crops, it is possible to contribute to nutrition and help minimize water stress, contributing to maximum yield ceiling (Castro and Vieira, 2006). Santos and Vieira (2005), using doses of cytokinin, indole butyric acid and
