Introduction
This document has been developed to provide guidance for a consistent approach to justify the claims
associated with the use of plant biostimulants in agriculture.
The definition of plant biostimulants to be used in the regulation on fertilizing materials is
claims-based. For this reason, demonstrating that a product is indeed a bona fide plant biostimulant
depends on a demonstration of its effect.
The placing of a plant biostimulant on the market should not be considered to guarantee effectiveness
under all conditions, as many factors may influence the performance of a plant biostimulant in the field.
Plant biostimulants used in agriculture can be applied in multiple ways: on soil, on plant, as seed
treatment, etc. This document is applicable to all application types of plant biostimulants in agriculture.
1 Scope
This document provides guidance for justifying abiotic stress tolerance claim of plant biostimulants used
in agriculture.
This document is aimed primarily at manufacturers, laboratories, companies which will put the products
on the market, notifying authorities, notified bodies, and market surveillance authorities.
