Sažetak
Organic fruit production is confronted with the consequences of abiotic and biotic stress factors, such as drought, soil salinisation, unavailability of soil nutrients, soil degradation, resistant pests, temperature stress, to name but a few of the causes of significant yield and quality loss in fruit production. The area of orchards cultivated according to organic farming principles is increasing, which is also related to the demand for organically produced fruit. The use and development of safe and environmentally friendly preparations for organic farming is increasing. Humic substances complex organic substances, beneficial chemical elements, seaweed extracts and microbial biostimulants have been shown to play a key role in reducing fertiliser dependence, increasing stress resistance, and final yield and fruit quality. The positive effects of named biostimulants include improved root growth, better nutrient uptake and higher phytohormone production. Osmotic adjustment under abiotic stress conditions has also been confirmed. The use of preparations such as biostimulants can be an important tool for improving organic fruit production. Numerous studies have shown that biostimulants can improve cultivation efficiency, quality, and safety. The use of biostimulants is an ecologically sound practise with no negative impact on the environment, fruit quality and overall yield and have a possibility for addressing sustainability issues in organic production, i.e., a potential for integration into the management of modern organic orchards.
