Are you interested in agriculture? Then, keep reading this article by Artal.
First of all, we explain what agricultural biostimulants are. They are substances or microorganisms that, when applied to plants or soil, stimulate natural processes to improve their growth, development and performance; They act on physiological processes, making them more efficient.
Throughout this blog post, we will indicate the different types of biostimulants in agriculture, you will learn what they are for and we will present you our company’s innovative +PROD, designed to maximize the yield and quality of your crops.
Let’s go!

Types of biostimulants
In the introduction, we have explained what biostimulants are. In this section, we will clarify the different types of agricultural biostimulants that exist:
-
- Seaweed extracts. They are rich in minerals, sugars and phytohormones. They stimulate metabolism by increasing the energy available for growth and improving resistance to abiotic stress.
-
- Amino acids. They provide the organic compounds that plants use to build proteins. They act as activators of physiology and hormonal processes. They improve chlorophyll synthesis and photosynthesis. And they increase tolerance to stress, promoting growth.
-
- Humic and fulvic acids. They derive from the decomposition of organic matter. They improve soil structure and water retention capacity. They also increase the availability and absorption of nutrients.
-
- Beneficial microorganisms (bacteria, mycorrhizal fungi and rhizobacteria). They participate in soil health and nutrient absorption. And these biostimulants help protect plants against pathogens and improve resistance to stress.
-
- Organic chemicals, with plant hormones such as auxins, gibberellins and cytokinins. They regulate and promote various growth and development processes in plants. In addition, they improve germination, root development and flowering.
-
- Biostimulation using low intensity laser to stimulate physiological processes in plants. Improves seed germination, seedling growth and photosynthesis. It also increases resistance to stress and promotes more vigorous development.

What are agricultural biostimulants used for?
These vitamins in agriculture help plants at different levels:
-
- They increase the absorption of essential nutrients by plants, optimizing their growth, development and performance.
-
- They promote the development of a stronger and more extensive root system. This improves the stability of the plant and its ability to absorb water and nutrients.
-
- Biostimulants in agriculture help plants resist adverse conditions such as drought, salinity, extreme temperatures and water stress.
-
- They restore the soil structure and increase its water and nutrient retention capacity, creating a more favorable environment for plant growth.
-
- Agricultural biostimulants collaborate in the growth of beneficial microorganisms in the soil. Thus they contribute to the decomposition of organic matter and the release of nutrients.
-
- They increase the photosynthetic efficiency of plants and the production of chlorophyll. It translates into greater growth and performance.
-
- They improve yield and quality of the fruits, increasing their size, flavor, texture and nutritional content.
-
- They activate natural defense mechanisms in plants, making them more resistant to diseases and pests.

Discover +PROD by Artal
If you are looking for an optimal biostimulant, we show you +PROD from Artal. It is a biostimulant based on natural organic compounds, microelements and metabolic fuels that favor the generation and transport of the photoassimilates necessary for production.
The presence of metabolic fuels increases the activity of the plant, managing to increase both the production (yield) and the quality of the fruits in terms of precocity, size and color homogeneity, lengthening their post-harvest life.
Our +PROD is highly recommended for fruit and leaf vegetables. It is also a good metabolism inducer in fruit trees, seedbeds and flowers. It is also a product suitable for use in organic farming, certified by ECOCERT.
Its results in various field trials demonstrate its high effectiveness in increasing productivity and quality in different crops.

At Artal you will find other physiological ripening inducers, such as fruit setting inducers, organic, amino acids for tomatoes and other fruits, phosphites and more. If you have any questions or need more information, contact us.
