Plant biostimulants - Claims - Part 2: Nutrient use efficiency resulting from the use of a plant biostimulant
This EN specifies the guidelines to justify the claims of nutrient use efficiency resulting from the use of a plant biostimulant as defined by the FPR.
The revised Regulation on fertilising products (EC) Nr 2019/1009 includes a new PFC for plant biostimulants (PFC 6). For these products, it is obligatory to provide information about the effects claimed for each target plant and any relevant instructions related to the efficacy. Appropriate definition and scope about the claims of ‘nutrient use efficiency’ and their agronomic markers are necessary to check the conformity of CE marked plant biostimulants with the requirements of the Regulation. The nutrient use efficiency resulting from the use of a plant biostimulant need to be standardised in the framework of SReq.
The proposed EN will allow the industry to demonstrate compliance to the requirements stipulated in the FPR while helping government and competent authorities to monitor effectively compliance of the products. Consumers and environmental stakeholders will profit from the well-established uniform and reliable control of plant biostimulants applied to soil and crops.

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.
