Plant-derived protein hydrolysates (PHs) have gained prominence as plant biostimulants because of their potential to increase the germination, productivity and quality of a wide range of horticultural and agronomic crops. Root applications of PHs in the rhizosphere have been shown to be beneficial by improving nutrient use efficiency, enhancing nutrient availability, root growth, nutrient uptake and assimilation in several crops. Moreover, foliar and root (substrate drench) applications of PHs leads to stimulation of seed germination, plant growth, fruit set and enlargement. PHs not only increase yield but also improve some quality parameters such as fruit size, skin color, soluble solids, and antioxidant contents. Moreover, PHs have also great potential to reduce nitrate accumulation in leafy vegetables such as lettuce, spinach and rocket.
