Abstract Background Inefficient nitrogen (N) use leads to economic losses and environmental harm. Improving N efficiency (NUE) is crucial. The of plant biostimulants (PBs), integrated with good agronomic practices, offers a sustainable solution. Aims study explores the potential exhausted cell culture media from cultures ( Nicotiana sp. Gardenia sp.) as PBs, assessing their role in enhancing physiological status NUE. It also compares effectiveness against commercial PBs. Methods Two experiments (Experiments 1 2) were conducted using cherry tomato plants. In first one, two applied at different concentrations foliar spray define optimal dose. This outcome was used set up Experiment 2, which both compared PBs under reduced supply. Measurements included growth, chlorophyll (Chl) content, NUE indices. Moreover, 2 examined gene expression related assimilation, transport, response oxidative stress. Results Both demonstrated significant increase leaf area (≈11%) aboveground biomass (≈13%) media. Furthermore, enhancements Chl content (≈10%) accumulation (≈20%). These findings indicate that has comparable efficacy Conclusions underscores practical viability effective for growth conditions. approach aligns sustainability objectives by repurposing by‐products enhance resilience abiotic stress potentially improve fertilizers.

The increasing soil pollution has accelerated the implementation of new agricultural regulations that significantly limit use synthetic nitrogen (N) fertilizers. Consequently, plants are likely to experience nutrient stress, leading decreased productivity and potential threats food security. To address these critical challenges, microbial-based biostimulant (BS) products, which utilize metabolites from microorganisms, offer a sustainable eco-friendly solution mitigate plant stress. This study evaluated effects radicular application BS containing L-α-amino acids on lettuce pepper crops under two regimes: optimal N availability stress (NS). Various parameters, including growth, production, soluble proteins, photosynthetic pigment content, oxidative markers, were assessed. Under conditions, enhanced commercial biomass in vegetative pepper, indicating BSs can reduce need for nitrate uptake endogenous amino acid synthesis, thereby conserving energy other physiological processes. Despite application, NS conditions reduced reproductive growth both species. However, treatment increased chloroplast pigments, improving light absorption efficiency. reduction carotenoid/chlorophyll ratio suggests efficient allocation production. Thus, proved effective mitigating plants, enhancing while it improved yield, particularly biomass. These findings underscore symbiotic as promising tool agriculture availability.

Climate change and the degradation of ecosystems is an urgent issue to which agricultural sector contributes through overuse productive inputs such as chemical fertilizers. A disproportionate use nitrogenous fertilizers combined with low efficiency inevitably results in worsening environmental problems (greenhouse gas emissions, soil degradation, water eutrophication, groundwater pollution). Nevertheless, increasing population growth puts additional pressure on already struggling world. Awareness these has pushed world research towards development more sustainable but equally efficient strategies terms production. The biostimulant substances and/or micro-organisms promoting yield, resilience abiotic stresses plants, functional quality products have been indicated a valid strategy improve sustainability practices. In modern horticulture, vegetable–protein hydrolysates (V-PHs) gaining interest. These biostimulants could influence plants directly by stimulating carbon nitrogen metabolism interfering hormonal activity, also indirectly V-PHs nutrient availability plant substrates increase uptake utilization efficiency. By exploiting this aspect, it would be possible reduce without affecting potential yields. After brief introduction issues related intensive fertilizers, review focuses (NUE). Starting their heterogeneous origins compositions, effects metabolism, well physiological biochemical processes involved products, concludes in-depth discussion major leafy vegetables.

Abstract The use of biostimulants in agriculture is currently emerging as a resource to increase crop productivity and quality. Additionally, the concurrent application other bioactive materials or bioregulators alongside can prove valuable mitigating oxidative stress induced by various abiotic stresses. However, some cases, these compounds applied at inadequate doses produce toxic effects under non‐stressful conditions. Therefore, objective this study was analyze applying seaweed‐derived biostimulant containing additional (Cytolan® Stress) optimal growth Lettuce plants were grown control conditions without (control plants) with two Cytolan® (seaweed‐derived proline) Stress foliarly three (150, 300, 500 mL/hL).
