Abstract
Dynamic changes in the sector of fruit trees and shrubs caused, among other things, by the high increase in production costs, the assumptions of the European Green Deal and increasingly higher requirements for quality parameters of the obtained yield and their safety for consumers force producers to constantly introduce new changes in cultivation technology to meet all requirements. The choice of optimal cultivation technology is also crucial to the economic success of growers, which allows them to continue to operate and develop. One of the fastest growing branches of crop support today is biostimulation. Although biostimulants are not essential in crop production, their use can be fundamental under certain conditions. The purpose of this paper was to present comprehensive information on research in the field of biostimulation of fruit trees and shrubs, and to consider the possibility of using such preparations in the perspective of maximizing the use of fertilizers, plant protection products and obtaining the highest possible yield with the highest possible quality parameters of the crop, while fully safe for consumption by consumers. Biostimulants additionally show beneficial effects on the quality, structure and microbial life of soil and substrates.
