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 never 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.

3.7
soil colloid
finer size fraction of the soil (clay and organic matter), being also considered as the most chemically active
portion of the soil because of its large surface area and the chemical structure of the materials involved
4 Terminology of the claims4.1 Claims
Claimed improvement of availability of confined nutrients shall be completed with one or more
nutrient(s) which is/are concerned by this effect (e.g. nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), nitrogen and
phosphorus (N and P), zinc (Zn), microelements, …).Moreover, it is possible to specify in the claim if it is applied to soil or rhizosphere or both.
Some examples of claims which can be mentioned on the label are presented hereunder:
• “Improve availability of microelements confined in soil and rhizosphere”,• “Improve availability of phosphorus in rhizosphere”,
• “Improve availability of nitrogen in soil”.
5 Assessment markers to validate the claim
5.1 General considerations for markers measurements
Improvement of the availability of nutrient confined in the soil shall be evaluated by comparing the
concentration or quantity of the available nutrient element (in the soil, soil and rhizosphere or plants) in
control treatment (without plant biostimulant application) and in plant biostimulant treatment (applied
plant biostimulant).Markers shall be determined with the same methods and same equipment on both control treatment and
plant biostimulant treatment.Markers to evaluate the improvement of the availability of nutrient confined in the soil or rhizosphere,
noted as markers in the text, could be determined on 3 different matrixes (soil, soil and rhizosphere or
plants). For each matrix, markers shall be determined on representative samples.NOTE Growing media are not considered as soil or soil rhizosphere in this document.
5.2 Soil or rhizosphere markers5.2.1 Soil sample preparation
Soil or rhizosphere samples should be processed according to EN 16179.
After sampling, the soil or rhizosphere samples should be kept cool and processed as soon as possible
(ISO 18512 may be used for the preservation and storage of soil samples).Prior to analysis, the soil or rhizosphere samples can be air-dried, or dried in an oven at temperatures
not exceeding 40 °C for at least 72h, or freeze-dried or cool stored (4°C) according to the recommended
methodology for the measured markers.---------------------- Page: 8 ----------------------
