Biostimulants Industry- Types, Applications and Forecast to 2018

Biostimulants

Biostimulants are natural organic materials, which enhance plant growth and development when applied in small quantities. Biostimulant is not fertilizer or plant nutrient but is a blend of variety of compounds, substances, bacteria's, micro-organisms that improve soil fertility along with crop's health tolerance and quality.

Bio Stimulants have proved beneficial to foster several metabolic processes such as photosynthesis, respiration and ion intake in plants. Biostimulants are extensively been used in agriculture sector.

Classification of Biostimulants

The biostimulants are classified as follows :

• Acid Based Biostimulants

  1. Various blends of Humic acid and its byproducts
  2. Various blends of Fulvic acid and its byproducts
  3. Various blends of Amino acid and its byproducts  

• Extract based Biostimulants

  1. Sea weeds
  2. Sea kelp and manure extracts

Advantages of Biostimulants:

• Boosting soil quality and fertility, owing to factors like excessive amount of helpful micro-organisms present in biostimulants.
• Enhancing the plant's response to its metabolic activities fostering greater crop yield.
• Increasing plant tolerance and resistance against harmful microbes
• Providing better nutrient absorption and  increasing water intake.
