Plant biostimulants
promote plant growth by stimulating hormonal activity which aids
in regulating plant development and promoting antioxidant
production. Antioxidants are metabolites and enzymes which seek out
free radical molecules and protect plants from damage. Free radical molecules result
from stress, i.e. drought, heat, ultraviolet light and herbicide use.
Free radicals are damaging because they are strong oxidizing agents
which damage lipids, proteins and DNA within plants cells. |
