This collection features five peer-reviewed reviews on biostimulant
applications in agriculture. The first chapter provides a
comprehensive overview of the optimal design and formulation of
microbial and non-microbial biostimulants. The chapter presents two
case studies to demonstrate the successful commercialisation of
microbial and non-microbial biostimulant products. The second
chapter considers the utilisation of humic substances (HS) as plant
biostimulants in agriculture and their impact on the physical and
chemical properties of soil. The chapter also discusses the
production of HS. The third chapter reviews the wealth of research
on the mechanism of action, applications and efficacy of key
biostimulants such as Bacillus species, Pseudomonas species,
Trichoderma species and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi. The fourth
chapter assesses recent advances in the use of plant
growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) as a means of enhancing crop
root function and nutrient use. The chapter also considers the
challenge of practical adoption and use of PGPR in commercial
agricultural settings. The final chapter reviews the utilisation of
biostimulants as an integrated pest management tool in
horticulture. The chapter considers their role in promoting plant
growth, building soil structure, as well as pest and disease
suppression.
