ABSTRACT Fungal diseases pose a significant threat to global agriculture, leading major crop losses and harmful mycotoxin contamination. Effective management of these is crucial for safeguarding production ensuring food safety. With growing emphasis on sustainability, there increased interest in using biological control agents (BCAs) biostimulants with protective effects (BPEs). This paper provides comprehensive set methods or protocols rapidly screening the potential BCAs BPEs, covering assessments from pathogen‐only evaluations those involving both pathogen host at early stages. By promoting standardised reproducible methods, this review offers concise guide initial evaluations, helping identify promising microorganisms substances further research. These allow comparisons between BCAs/BPEs conventional chemical treatments, assessment synergies, ability fungicide‐resistant strains evaluation phytotoxicity. The goal improve understanding integration BPEs into agricultural practices, reducing reliance agrochemicals sustainable fungal diseases. Future research should expand range under investigation refine maximise their effectiveness real‐world applications.

Plant activators have emerged as promising alternatives to conventional pesticides for crop disease manage-ment due their unique mode of action. By priming the plant's innate immune system, these compounds can induce systemic acquired resistance against a broad spectrum pathogens without directly inhibiting proliferation. Key advantages plant include prolonged defense activity, lower effective dosages, and negligible risk developing pathogen resistance. Among various defensive pathways tar-geted, salicylic acid (SA) signaling cascade has been extensively explored, leading successful devel-opment commercial like benzothiadiazole widespread application in protection. While action sites many SA-targeting preliminarily mapped different steps along pathway, comprehensive understanding precise mechanisms remains elusive. This review provides historical perspective on activator development outlines diverse screening strategies employed across multiple levels, from whole-plant bioassays molecular transgenic approaches. We expound intricate components, biological relevance, regulatory circuits governing SA while criti-cally examining structural features, bioactivities, proposed modes classical such derivatives, analogs, other small molecules. Insights field trials as-sessing practical applicability are also discussed. Furthermore, we highlight current status, challenges, future prospects realm globally, with focus recent en-deavors China. Collectively, this aims synthesize existing knowledge provide roadmap research toward more potent mechanistically understood activa-tors that fortify immunity disease.

Using beneficial microorganisms as biostimulants is a promising strategy to enhance crop growth and productivity in hydroponic systems. Trichoderma asperellum has demonstrated plant growth-promoting effects soil cultivation; however, its efficacy Deep-Water Culture (DWC) systems remains underexplored. This research evaluated the effect of T. strains TaMFP1 TaMFP2 on growth, nutrient uptake, visual quality hydroponically grown spinach cv. Stella Plus F-1 (Spinacia oleracea L.). A randomized complete design was used, comparing inoculated plants with control commercial harzianum product. After 28 days, results showed that significantly increased height (23.1%), collar diameter (21.8%), root length (39.6%), leaf area (22.0%), number leaves (18.05), fresh biomass accumulation (23.5%) compared non-inoculated plants. Furthermore, inoculation improved yield by 34.5%, while analysis indicated enhanced phosphorus calcium uptake.

Humic acids (HAs), tea polyphenols (TPs), and fulvic (FAs) are bioactive substances known for their antimicrobial, antioxidant, plant growth-promoting properties. However, the chemical structures molecular mechanisms underlying effects remain unclear. Solid-state 13C nuclear magnetic resonance analysis reveals that FA has most aromatic oxygen-containing groups, followed by HA TP, with a weight ranking of > TP FA. Transcriptomic metabolomic analyses reveal these biostimulants unregulated genes related to IAA, C N metabolism, pathogen resistance, leading enhanced synthesis amino acids, lipids, vitamins, sugars while improving P utilization efficiency.
