Title
Effect of biostimulants combined with fertilization on yield and nutritional value of wheat crops

Other claims from this paper (6)
- Association Root fertilization accounted for most of the total variance in early and late yield components.
- Intervention effect Both alternative fertilization approaches positively affected wheat plant health and yield in both cultivars, compared with traditional urea supplementation.
- Intervention effect The organic fertilizer gave yield-component results comparable to those of the mineral fertilizer.
- Intervention effect Foliar application of base cations and biostimulants increased grain mineral content moderately and in a genotype-specific way.
- Intervention effect Supplementing cation nutrients at heading gave minimal biofortification benefits in wheat.
- Recommendation The authors conclude that organic amendments, foliar spraying and biostimulants can be as effective as chemical fertilization for wheat plant health, yield and grain composition.
