Biostimulants and organic biofertilizers, as ones from fish residues and fish manure, are natural products that can enhance plant growth, yield, and quality, as well as improve soil health and fertility

Biostimulants and organic biofertilizers can help overcome conventional agriculture’s challenges, such as soil degradation, nutrient depletion, and environmental pollution. They can also help to meet the increasing demand for food, feed, and fiber while ensuring sustainability and resilience.
Agriculture is one of the most important sectors of the global economy, as it provides food, feed, and fiber for the growing population. However, agriculture also faces many challenges, such as soil degradation, nutrient depletion, and environmental pollution, due to the intensive use of synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, and irrigation. These practices can have negative impacts on the soil health and fertility, the plant growth and quality, and the ecosystem services and biodiversity. Moreover, agriculture also needs to cope with the effects of climate change, such as drought, heat, salinity, and pests, which can reduce crop yield and quality.
