Plant biostimulants are defined as either substances of biological origin or living microorganisms or both whose functions, when applied to plants or soils, stimulate biological processes that improve the mobilization and uptake of macro- and micro-nutrients; alleviate abiotic stress; and protect plants against pathogen and pest attacks. BioSun and Lumiera are two emerging businesses that are actively involved in the development of natural-derived products to manufacture biostimulants. Biosun develops and markets natural products such as biopesticides and biostimulants. Lumiera is involved in the development and commercialization of natural health products. This industry-driven project was designed to solve BioSun and Lumeria issues to enter into biostimulant market. The objectives of this project are: to optimize the Plantiful production process; to develop an improved second generation of CELEXT07 biocontrol; and to validate the agronomic performance of improved products in field trials with appropriate controls.The outcomes of this applied research project are to optimize the production process of Plantiful and to develop a second generation of CELEXT07. With these two products, we expect to increase yield of field crops and vegetables by at least 20%. As an example, increasing tomatoes yield by 20% would increase the value of Canadian farmer by $20 000 per hectare. We also expect to reduce crop loss by controlling pathogen attacks such those of Botrytis cineria and powdery mildew.This project will immediately benefit BioSun and Lumiera from commercialization of improved products, and crop producers from improved farm profitability. In high-input agrosystems, biostimulants have proven their effectiveness, allowing a reduction in chemical input use. This project will contribute to securing Canadian farm profitability into the future. It will further the reputation of Canada's agri-food industry as a world leader in innovation and environmental stewardship. Moreover, this project will make substantial contributions to Canada's overall efforts to improve food security in the face of a changing climate and growing population.

植物生物刺激素被定义为生物来源的物质或活微生物或两者，其功能在施用于植物或土壤时刺激生物过程，改善宏量和微量营养素的动员和吸收;减轻非生物胁迫;保护植物免受病原体和害虫的攻击。BioSun和Lumiera是两家新兴企业，积极参与开发天然衍生产品以制造生物刺激剂。Biosun开发和销售生物农药和生物刺激剂等天然产品。Lumiera参与天然健康产品的开发和商业化。这个行业驱动的项目旨在解决BioSun和Lumeria进入生物刺激剂市场的问题。该项目的目标是：优化Plantiful生产工艺;开发改进的第二代CELEXT 07生物防治;并在田间试验中验证改进产品的农艺性能。该应用研究项目的成果是优化Plantiful生产工艺并开发第二代CELEXT 07。有了这两种产品，我们预计大田作物和蔬菜的产量将增加至少20%。例如，番茄产量增加20%将使加拿大农民每公顷增加2万美元的价值。我们还希望通过控制病原体的侵袭，如灰葡萄孢和白粉病，减少作物损失。该项目将立即使BioSun和Lumiera受益于改进产品的商业化，并使作物生产者受益于提高农场的盈利能力。在高投入农业系统中，生物刺激剂已证明其有效性，可减少化学品投入的使用。该项目将有助于确保加拿大农场未来的盈利能力。它将进一步提高加拿大农业食品工业作为世界创新和环境管理领导者的声誉。此外，该项目将对加拿大在气候变化和人口增长的情况下改善粮食安全的总体努力作出重大贡献。
