Abstract
In many agricultural crops, rapid seed germination and seedling growth are required to achieve optimal yields. Seed priming (pre‐sowing seed treatment) is a common practice to improve seed germination especially under unfavorable conditions. FOLICIST® is a biostimulant produced by Biolchim SpA containing plant extracts, acetyl-thioproline, folic acid, and glycine betaine. In tomato, melon, and cherry, FOLICIST® application enhanced plant metabolism leading to improved flowering and fruit set. In some graminaceous and leguminous species, seed treatment with FOLICIST® also enhanced the percentage of germinated seeds and stimulated seedling growth. In the present paper, FOLICIST® was shown to improve seed germination and radicle extension of wheat and maize seeds.
