Equilibrium®: Use of biostimulation to mitigate crop alternate bearing in pistachio cultivation

April 2025
Equilibrium® | Scientific articles

One of the main challenges in pistachio cultivation, as with other crops such as olive groves, is the marked alternation of production, especially under dryland conditions or on plots with limited water and nutrient availability. The biostimulant Equilibrium® has proven effective in other crops by promoting bud retention and fruit set. This four-year study evaluated the impact of foliar treatments with Equilibrium® on reducing bud drop in annual growth when these compete with bunches. The ...

Effect of L-amino acid-based biostimulants on nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) in lettuce plants

Scientific articles | Bioestimulantes | Terra-Sorb® | Terramin® Pro

BACKGROUND: Biostimulants are increasingly integrated into production systems with the goal of modifying physiological processes in plants to optimize productivity. Specifically, L-α-amino acid-based biostimulants enhance plant productivity through improved photosynthesis and increased assimilation of essential nutrients such as nitrogen (N). This element is a major component of fertilizers, which usually are applied in excess. Thus, the inefficient use of N fertilizers has generated a seri...

Foliar application of biostimulants and antioxidant properties in soybeans

Scientific articles

The study was carried out in 2014 - 2016 in Perespa, Poland. Soybean seeds Mavka cultivar were sown in the third decade of April. During the growing season four biostimulants: Kelpak SL (Eclonia maxima extract), Terra-Sorb® Complex (free amino acids), Atonik (phenolic compounds) and Tytanit (titanium) were used in four combinations each other, using lower or higher concentrations and single or double foliar spraying. All the results were compared to control (no biostimulant applied). After ...
