Biostimulant doses of the Stimulate® on the seed germination and seedling vigor of three snap beans cultivars

Abstract

Often, products for incorporation as seed additives are released on market and some of them bring in their composition growth regulators, which can act upon the physiological processes of plants. In the literature, there are reports of positive results of the use of regulators on the common bean plant, nevertheless, in spite of being the same botanical species, little is known about those responses in snap-bean cultivars. Thus, the objective of this work was evaluating the effects of five doses of the biostimulant Stimulate® upon the seed germination and seedling vigor of three snap-bean cultivars.
