Biostimulants and their role in agriculture

ИThe idea of biostimulants was first proposed in 1933 in the USSR by the Soviet doctor V. P. Filatov. He proved that organisms under stress are capable of activating regeneration processes under the influence of biological materials of plant and animal origin. In the 1950s, scientists confirmed that biostimulants not only stimulate plant growth, but also improve their ability to absorb nutrients and moisture.

Today, the European Union defines biostimulants as “substances or materials (excluding fertilizers and pesticides) that, when applied to plants, seeds or soil, are capable of changing physiological processes, improving growth, development and resistance to abiotic stress.”

Biostimulants based on humic and fulvic acids

Modern biostimulants based on humic and fulvic acids obtained from leonardite are widely used in agriculture. They are especially effective in:

• Drought and heat – improve water absorption and retain moisture in the soil.
• Soil salinization – reduce the concentration of salts, reducing the osmotic pressure on plants.
• Cold and frost – increase plant resistance to low temperatures.
• Excessive moisture – improve soil aeration and prevent root rot.

Advantages of humic and fulvic acids

1. Increasing the efficiency of fertilizers

Humic and fulvic acids improve the absorption of macronutrients (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium), and also make fixed phosphates available to plants.

2. Mobilization of micronutrients

They bind iron, zinc, copper, manganese into easily digestible complexes, which is important for soils with low humus content.

3. Environmental safety

Unlike synthetic chelates (e.g. EDTA), humic acids are natural and biodegradable. They also reduce ammonia emissions from organic fertilizers and prevent groundwater pollution with nitrates.

Contribution to sustainable agriculture

The use of leonardite-based biostimulants is in line with the goals of the European Green Deal and the Farm to Fork strategy aimed at reducing the environmental burden and increasing the sustainability of the agricultural sector.

GRINBIO products: innovative humic fertilizers

GRINBIO produces organic biostimulants and fertilizers based on humic and fulvic acids obtained from high-quality leonardite. Our products are designed to increase crop yields and adapt agriculture to climate change.

Our products:
