t0“Foliar application of commercial amino acids biostimulants on nutrient uptake and quality of potato tuber”
e2“The plant-based biostimulant (A 2 ) led to the greatest increase in total soluble solids (TSS, 18.12 to 28.20%), starch (21.36 to 23.93%), and protein content (2.11 to 2.76%)”
e3“followed by the mixture amino acid biostimulants (A 3 ), and the lowest response was observed with the animal-based biostimulants (A 1 )”

Other claims from this paper (16)
- Intervention effect Spraying all sources of amino acid biostimulant significantly enhanced tuber quality and nutrient uptake relative to the control.
- Intervention effect The plant-based biostimulant A 2 gave the greatest increase in starch (21.36 to 23.93%).
- Intervention effect The plant-based biostimulant A 2 gave the greatest increase in protein content (2.11 to 2.76%).
- Intervention effect The animal-based biostimulant A 1 gave the lowest quality response of the four AAB sources.
- Intervention effect The maximum nitrogen uptake at 30 DAS was 65.74 to 152.26 kg ha-1 under the A 2 treatment.
- Intervention effect The maximum nitrogen uptake at 60 DAS was 120.12 to 163.23 kg ha-1 under the A 2 treatment.
- Intervention effect The maximum nitrogen uptake at 90 DAS was 74.90 to 79.69 kg ha-1 under the A 2 treatment.
- Intervention effect The maximum phosphorus uptake at 30 DAS was 32.54 to 107.50 kg ha-1 under A 2.
- Intervention effect The maximum phosphorus uptake at 60 DAS was 47.73 to 70.57 kg ha-1 under A 2.
- Intervention effect The maximum phosphorus uptake at 90 DAS was 56.78 to 47.73 kg ha-1 under A 2.
- Association Potassium uptake followed the same trend as phosphorus uptake, highest under A 2.
- Intervention effect The maximum tuber yield of 230.5 and 226.1 q ha-1 (first and second years) was recorded at four irrigation stages (I 2), above five stages (I 3).
- Intervention effect The greatest potato yield of 239.0 and 234.2 q ha-1 (first and second years) was obtained with A 2.
- Intervention effect The combination of I 2 irrigation and A 2 gave the highest tuber yield (255.0 and 241.3 q ha-1), and the irrigation by AAB interaction was significant.
- Intervention effect Irrigation schedule had no significant effect on nutrient uptake or tuber quality.
- Mechanism Foliar AAB application is suggested to improve nutrient use efficiency by easier nutrient absorption and better tuber quality.
