Biostimulants are natural or artificially produced substances that enhance plant growth, development, and overall plant health when applied to crops or soils. They promote plant growth through various mechanisms, including improving nutrient uptake, enhancing stress tolerance, and stimulating beneficial microbial activity. Biostimulants are an important component of modern agriculture, contributing to sustainable and efficient crop […]

Humic substances, including humic, fulvic, and ulmic acids, are complex organic compounds derived from decayed organic matter such as plants, animals, and microorganisms. They are important components of soil organic matter and play a significant role in improving soil health and plant growth. Here’s an overview of humic, fulvic, and ulmic acids and their applications […]

Soil salinity can occur naturally or be caused by practices used on the farm – continuously irrigating with water that has a high salt concentration, for example. While some crops are tolerant to saline soils, high concentrations of some salts can be toxic to others. Salinity can also hinder a plant’s uptake of water and […]

The Green Revolution of the 1960s sought to greatly increase agricultural production through the introduction of high-yield crops, chemical fertilizers, and synthetic herbicides and pesticides. With these new advancements, it was suddenly possible to grow more food on the same number of acres, to better meet the needs of a growing global population. One thing […]

Soil salinity can occur naturally or be caused by human activity – continuously irrigating with water that has a high salt concentration, for example. While some crops are tolerant to saline soils, high concentrations of some salts can be toxic to others. Salinity can also affect a plant’s uptake of water and absorption of nutrients. […]
