Journal of Regulatory Science publishes US Biostimulant Industry Recommended Guidelines

January 25, 2023

The primary goal of a biostimulant product is to ‘enhance plant nutritional processes.’ As it currently stands, biostimulant products are not regulated with the same degree of oversight and uniformity as fertilizer or pesticide products because they do not fit into either category. Biostimulant producers provide critically important products to growers but, because of the lack of consistent regulation, are often limited in their uses.

The guidelines are intended to help companies develop biostimulant product claims that enhance their credibility and ultimately prepare biostimulant producers for future government regulations.
