Comparison of Biostimulant Treatments in Acmella oleracea Cultivation for Alkylamides Production.

ABSTRACT: Acmella oleracea is a promising cosmetic, nutraceutical, and pharmaceutical ingredient, and plants with high levels of active compounds are needed in the market. Cultivation can be valuable if sufficient levels of alkylamides are present in plant material. In this regard the application of biostimulants can be an innovative approach to increase yield of cultivation or bioactive compound levels. A. oleracea plants were cultivated in Northern Italy in an experimental site using three different types of biostimulants, triacontanol-based mixture (Tria), an extract from plant tissues (LL017), and seaweed extract (Swe). Plants were grown in the field in two different growing seasons (2018 and 2019). After treatments inflorescences were harvested and the quali-quantitative analysis of alkylamides
