Book Review Published in: International Journal of Environmental Studies  

“This ingenious title stimulates curiosity to discover how biostimulants can be used to improve the quality and abundance in any place where it is desired to grow plants with good performance. This book is an essential Pharmacopoeia for agricultural professionals seeking new strategies and for researchers passionate about sustainable agricultural innovation. In addition to its practical advice, it presents a rich collection of remedies accompanied by original tables and illustrations. The scientific, regulatory, technical, and technological references it provides are crucial for successfully adapting Biostimulant applications based on specific soil, crop, and climatic conditions.” (Professor Nadia Boutaleb, Hassan II University of Casablanca, Morocco)
