Biostimulants Impact on Agronomic Traits of Fortnight Harvested Zea mays

Abstract

Stunted growth is a common reason for low productivity in plants. Biostimulants (BS) enhance plant’s capability to increase nutrient uptake and to resist biotic and abiotic stresses because of natural minerals and beneficial microbes. To examine the impact of BS on the growth of Zea mays, a 15 day experiment was carried out. BS showed significant positive results of up to 48% increase in overall plant growth. BS application offers a promising strategy to fulfill a plant’s requirement for growth, development and to provide enhanced yield. Therefore, it’s necessary for further experimental study to understand beneficial impacts of BS on soil health and sustainable agriculture.
