The Olive Pomace Anaerobic Digestate has been chemically characterized and can function as a biostimulant of plant growth. However, the microbial component prevents its full stimulant effectiveness.
💡 Through biorefining, we recovered an extract containing natural elicitors of plant defense, capable of priming immunity and enhancing resistance to fungal and bacterial pathogens.
