Alchemists and agriculture enthusiasts, good morning! Welcome to PNA Plant Nutrition Alchemy, the channel dedicated to plant fertilization and nutrition. ⬇ (Come on, don't scroll past me, take a look below!) ⬇ We return to the Basic section with a video dedicated to the future of plant fertilization and nutrition. We're talking about the new frontier of fertilizers, products that are given for purposes other than simple fertilization and the simple supply of nutrients. Today we're talking about Biostimulants, different products, with different origins, that serve to improve the development of our plants or to improve the environment in which they live. Super warning, if you're looking for a practical and quick video, today's is not for you. Today we're going to dwell on a topic that requires a bit of history to be fully understood. We'll start from the birth of Biostimulants, from the first studies in 1997 up to the present day. So, if you're interested in some specific topic, below you can find the chapters divided by topic. If you want more information on specific topics, you can use the comments to let me know. Here are the chapters of this video: 0:00:00 Introduction 0:02:40 Biostimulants the new frontier of plant nutrition 0:03:10 The good old days gone by… or not? 0:05:15 The beginning of the story in 1997 0:07:00 Let's look for a definition 2007 0:08:52 2010 the first law on Biostimulants 0:10:55 EBIC is born 2011 0:13:10 Increasingly complex definitions 2012 0:15:15 The EBIC Definition 2013 0:17:20 2019 The new European regulation on fertilizers 0:19:45 2021 What does Wikipedia say?

A small disclaimer must be made, as usual, it is not my claim to take a university course in soil chemistry or agronomy, what I would like to do is keep a more practical, simpler and, if possible, more fun approach. Simpler does not mean less effective or not based on technique and science, I just leave university courses to the universities. Furthermore, I hope in the meantime to be able to open fruitful discussions with the community that will make us all improve. So whether you are a farmer or a gardening enthusiast, whether you have hectares of land or just a small vegetable garden, get on board and let's start our journey together! #fertilization #biostimulants #fertilizer This is currently the home outside of Youtube of the Plant Nutrition Alchemy project https://www.winebo.it This is the telegram group to chat and stay informed! https://t.me/plantnutritionalchemy For the moment the videos are made with these two things (very cheap asset, suitable for everyone): Aukey Webcam: https://amzn.to/2NXPOKW Yanmai Microphone: https://amzn.to/3bB3fZB
