Different Types of Biostimulants

Biostimulants are organic compounds that cause or accelerate biochemical activity within a plant, increasing the efficiency of a plant or any of its parts, or increasing the uptake and availability of necessary nutrients. When applied to soil or foliage, biostimulants affect or accelerate chemical changes in living cells by which energy is provided for vital processes and activities, and new material is assimilated.

All biostimulants can generally be classed as either natural or synthetic. Natural biostimulants exist in or are formed by nature without human intervention. Natural biostimulants include auxins, gibberellins, cytokinins, inhibitors and enzymatic systems that are produced within living plants mainly within actively growing parts, such as the tips of roots and stems. These compounds can be incorporated in exogenously applied biostimulants from plant extracts in which they are produced or separated from the product of a   fermentation process.
