Biostimulants are gaining traction in modern agriculture for their ability to help plants extract more nutrients, resist stress, and improve growth. Many act through plant hormones such as cytokinins, gibberellins, auxins, brassinosteroids, and abscisic acid—each influencing nitrogen uptake, stress tolerance, and overall performance. While promising, these tools should complement—not replace—a solid fertility plan, with on-farm testing to confirm benefit under local condition
