Abstract
Biostimulants are a widely accepted addition to horticultural crops, promoted by a global market
valued at US$2.5 billion. However, the huge range of products with long lists of potential benefits is
not always supported by rigorous science. In Australia, the absence of regulation makes this
situation more unpredictable. Jessica Bell, a recent honours graduate from the Tasmanian Institute
of Agriculture (TIA) at the University of Tasmania, adds some valuable science to this field in her
study of selected plant biostimulants applied to strawberry in a soilless production system.
