Plant biostimulants have been the subject of intense interest in recent years. The aim of this study was to assess, during the years 2021–2022, the effect of mineral nitrogen (N) fertilizer, experimental (PGPB) and commercial (G) microbial biostimulants, and humic substance product (A) on the soil m...
