Horticulturists make use auxins and apply them exogenously to cuttings generate adventitious roots balanced shoots. Many studies have illustrated influence seaweed extracts on growth crops; their in vegetative cutting propagation, our knowledge, has been little investigated. Moreover, there a lack information IBA extract concentration carbohydrate content. This research aimed compare effects commercial extract, called Goteo®, with that phytohormone IBA, aerial root traits stem two Mediterranean landscaping shrubs: Lantana camara (S1) Abelia × grandiflora (S2). treatments applied semi-hardwood were as follows: C0: untreated control; concentration: 1250 mg L−1; Goteo® concentrations at 1, 2, 3 mL L−1. In L. camara, greatest values rooting percentage obtained under when compared A. grandiflora, no among treatments. presented study shows stimulated provided better shoot development Abelia.

Over the past decade, plant biostimulants have been increasingly used in agriculture as environment-friendly tools that improve sustainability and resilience of crop production systems under environmental stresses. Protein hydrolysates (PHs) are a main category produced by chemical or enzymatic hydrolysis proteins from animal sources. Mostly composed amino acids peptides, PHs beneficial effect on multiple physiological processes, including photosynthetic activity, nutrient assimilation translocation, also quality parameters. They seem to hormone-like activities. Moreover, enhance tolerance abiotic stresses, notably through stimulation protective processes such cell antioxidant activity osmotic adjustment.

This practice increases the abiotic stresses, resulting both in crop yield losses soil degradation. Low productivity is often associated with salinized soil, which caused by toxic osmotic effects soluble salt accumulation and, consequently, lack organic matter. Conversely, there a need improve current meet increasing food demands. Among methodologies proposed increase plant resistance stress, utilization production biostimulants has been recently proposed.

Salinity, one of the major abiotic stresses in plants, significantly hampers germination, photosynthesis, biomass production, nutrient balance, and yield staple crops. To mitigate impact such stress without compromising quality, sustainable agronomic practices are required. Among these practices, seaweed extracts (SWEs) microbial biostimulants (PGRBs) have emerged as important categories plant (PBs). This research aimed at elucidating effects on growth, yield, status two Greek tomato landraces (‘Tomataki’ ‘Thessaloniki’) following treatments with Ascophyllum nodosum extract ‘Algastar’ PGPB ‘Nitrostim’ formulation. Plants were subjected to bi-weekly applications supplied solutions: 0.5 mM (control) 30 NaCl. The results revealed that different mode(s) action PBs impacted tolerance landraces, since ‘Tomataki’ was benefited only from SWE application while ‘Thessaloniki’ showed significant increase fruit numbers average weight both NaCl root zone. In conclusion, induced by salinity can be mitigated increasing through PBs, a tool for productivity enhancement, which aligns well strategy European Green Deal.
