Randomized trial evaluated biostimulants effects on mango yield and quality, indicating better results for European market standards.

To assess the effects of foliar biostimulant sprays on the yield and quality of ‘Kent’ mango fruits in a semi-arid region.
Conducted a randomized complete block design experiment with five biostimulant treatments over two years.
Evaluated four replications per treatment with four plants each.
Applied treatments including control, nutrient and amino acids, Lithothamnium extract, and sucrose.
Biostimulants significantly affected mango fruit yield and quality across different growing seasons.
Treatments T2 and T5 led to the highest fruit yields and enhanced postharvest quality suitable for the European market.
Control treatment yielded lower quality and yield compared to biostimulant treatments.

Lobo et al. (2019) studied this question.
