Biostimulants

In an era where climate change presents unprecedented challenges to agriculture, biostimulants emerge as essential allies for farmers. Discover how they empower farmers to meet the demands for high-quality produce while sustainably producing the food, feed, fuel, and fiber essential for global agriculture.

What are biostimulants?

Biostimulants are substances or microorganisms that, when applied to plants or the surrounding soil, have the ability to enhance crop growth, improve stress tolerance, and maintain marketable yield. They are complementary tools to conventional agriculture, helping growers manage the demands of food retailers for high-quality produce.
 

Key benefits of biostimulants

Biostimulants provide many benefits to plants without providing a specific pesticidal activity. They can help to fortify plants to be better prepared to face stressful conditions that might be encountered later in the season, such as water, heat, or disease pressures or enhance the plant in nutrient uptake and nutrient efficiency.
 

Why do we have it in the portfolio for farmers?

Biostimulants are increasingly being utilized as the world’s farmers continue to adapt to the dynamic growing conditions being encountered as climate change increasingly challenges agronomic production. By offering biostimulants as part of our portfolio, BASF is positioned to provide a wide variety of solutions to our customers that will enable them to meet these challenges and continue producing the food, feed, fuel, and fiber that is required from global agriculture.
