About this ebook

The global biostimulants market has been valued at around $4 billion, with this figure set to rise to over $9 billion by 2030. The increase in adoption rates of organic and regenerative farming techniques are recognised as key drivers of this growth, with farmers opting to use more sustainable practices to improve crop growth, quality and yield.

Advances in biostimulants for a sustainable agriculture provides a comprehensive overview of the development and use of microbial biostimulants, such as plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, as well as non-microbial biostimulants such as seaweed and microalgae. The book considers recent advances in the regulation of biostimulants, their mechanisms of action and the variables which may influence their efficacy and reliability.

This book builds on a successful earlier volume published by Burleigh Dodds Science Publishing: Biostimulants for sustainable crop production (2020).
