Renewable Sources of Plant Biostimulation: Microalgae as a Sustainable Means to Improve Crop Performance

Plant biostimulants (PBs) attract interest in modern agriculture as a tool to enhance crop performance, resilience to environmental stress, and nutrient use efficiency. PBs encompass diverse organic and inorganic substances (humic acids and protein hydrolysates) as well as prokaryotes (e.g., plant g...
