Plant Biostimulants in Organic Horticulture: A Review

Plant biostimulants are being studied extensively as a realistic method to increasing horticulture crop productivity in a sustainable manner. They are one of the natural preparations used to help plants grow and develop while also protecting them from illnesses. Despite their economic importance, research on the widespread usage of plant extracts to substitute synthetic chemicals shows that their practical application is underutilized. Plant extracts have a variety of applications in the fight for sustainable agriculture through organic farming, including growth and development and the provision of critical nutrients. Insecticides, pesticides, and herbicides are all used on them. They are also crucial for improving the quality of fruits and vegetables throughout harvest and postharvest storage.
