Biostimulants: formulation research lags behind increased use
Plant growth stimulation is a growing market. Companies regularly introduce novel plant biostimulants that are claimed to improve nutrient uptake, increase growth, enhance abiotic stress tolerance or improve crop quality traits. Adjuvants & Formulations provides insights in this expanding and highly diverse market that comprises products with proven efficacy, snake oil and all that is in between. A selection of relevant literature completes this survey.
