TL;DR: An overview of the biostimulant properties of PHs on productivity and product quality of horticultural crops, in particular fruit trees, vegetables, flower crops and ornamentals is given.

TL;DR: Two protein hydrolyzate–based fertilizers, one from alfalfa and one from meat flour, were studied chemically and biologically and a role of amino acids and small peptides of the two PHFs is suggested in the regulation of the hormone-like activity and nitrogen pathway.

TL;DR: It is proved that the EM increases plant biomass even when plants are grown under salinity conditions, likely because EM stimulated plant nitrogen metabolism and antioxidant systems.

TL;DR: An overview of the chemical characteristics of chromium, its behavior in the environment, its relationship with plants and aspects of the use of fertilizers is provided in this article, where the authors also provide an overview of their approach to converting Cr(VI) to Cr(III) in soils and waters.

TL;DR: The use of biostimulants in sustainable agriculture has been growing in recent years as mentioned in this paper, which can be obtained from different organic materials and include humic substances (HS), complex organic materials, beneficial chemical elements, peptides and amino acids, inorganic salts, seaweed extracts, chitin and chitosan derivatives, antitranspirants, amino acids and other N-containing substances.
