Washington state university, USA: 4 years of trials in potatoes testing 27 non-traditional treatments involving 32 products (inc. seaweed, humic acid) and finding no yield or profit differences from grower standard practice for any of the treatments. "Snake oil" is listed in the keywords...

Hi everyone, first time poster on this forum- hope you're all good! I'm weighing up the pros and cons of using biostimulants for a study i'm doing.. would be great to get the opinion of those who have used before! All opinions encouraged :) Cheers!

A five-year trial carried out in the Czech Republic shows positive results from using a biostimulant soil activator. It led to less compaction, better humus quantity and quality, reduced fuel consumption, improved yields, and a better return on investment. The Agricultural Research Institute...

OVERVIEW “Feed before you Weed” 2, 4 and 6 leaf stages are the critical timings for biostimulation and nutritional support. Calcium Phosphite (aCalsa / Calfite) at the 2-4 leaf stage T6P at the 4 & 6 leaf stage Kirol provides a programmed approach to ongoing stress reduction as a partner to the...

Winter barley is very source dependent and so it is vital to build biomass, tillers and ears. Phosphorus is critical for a successful establishment. Unium Biostimulants will give the best support through germination to tillering. TIROS takes our seed treatments to a new level allowing the plant...

Spring barley growers can reduce the yield and quality-robbing effects of ramularia by shielding crops from the effects of stress. That’s the latest advice from agronomy firm ProCam, with the company’s regional technical manager for Scotland, Alistair Gordon, warning that the physiological...

The plants overall productivity depends upon a root system being able to support optimal growth during the maximum period of stress. RISK = probability of the event happening X the consequence of it happening. The main factors during the establishment phase which influence dry matter...

With the use of agricultural inputs under increased scrutiny, standard approaches to crop nutrition are being supplemented by helping the plant to, literally, help itself. CPM finds out how biological technologies are achieving this. By Lucy de la Pasture The 2022 season has sat growers back...

Potato crops have paid a heavy penalty as a result of this summer’s record-breaking temperatures and drought, though biostimulant-treated plants appear to have fared better, according to Syngenta trials. First digs from this year’s Quantis heat-stress biostimulant field trials suggest yields...

Researchers at Nottingham Trent University (NTU) in collaboration with CHAP member Micromix have shown that a combination of biostimulants and micronutrients could help plants cope better with drought and heat stress. Their work, which examined the effect of a hybrid biostimulant with nutrients...

Farmers all over the world try to optimise their yield of wheat, rice, maize, grain legumes or tuber crops. However, they often have lower yields than they wish or target. Wageningen University & Research has a tool that aims to change this: the Global Yield Gap Atlas. Companies, governments and...

I’m sure many readers are well aware how much of a hot topic soils are in recent times – so much so – it seems we are somewhat in the midst of a soil health renaissance. Farmers around the globe are re-engaging with the importance and potential of their most valuable asset. There are various...
