Evaluating biostimulator effects on disease progression and fungal colonization in spring wheat, suggesting potential for crop health improvement.

The research aims to assess how a biostimulator affects disease progression and fungal colonization in spring wheat.
Conducted trials on spring wheat in the Moscow region from 2024 to 2025.
Applied biostimulator at various concentrations alongside a commercial standard and untreated control.
Treated seeds with TMTD before sowing and applied solutions during the tillering stage.
Biostimulator treatments significantly reduced leaf rust progression at key development stages.
Stem rust development in biostimulator-treated wheat was lower compared to control variants.
Leaf septoria blotch and glume blotch progressions were notably reduced in the biostimulator treatments, especially BS 10–6.
Fungal colonization by Fusarium fungi showed significant reductions in biostimulator-treated variants.

Demin et al. (2025) studied this question.
