Summary: This study investigated the impact of a commercial plant-derived biostimulant from a tropical plant extract (PE; Auxym®) on the growth, physiology, and biochemical composition of greenhouse-grown jute (Corchorus olitorius L.) under varying nutrient regimens. The biostimulant was applied weekly as a foliar spray at a concentration of 2 mL·L−1, and the plants were grown with full-, half-, and quarter-strength nutrient solutions.
The study demonstrates that the use of natural plant biostimulants like PE Auxym® can effectively enhance plant growth, photosynthesis, and nutrient efficiency under reduced nutrient availability. These findings suggest that PE Auxym® could be a valuable tool in sustainable agriculture, particularly in low-input systems where nutrient limitations might otherwise restrict crop productivity.
