Effect of PSI-362 treatment applied by foliar spray or coated with CAN + S fertilizer on plant biomass and NUE of winter barley (cv. Towers). A pot trial was performed to evaluate if the application mode of PSI-362 (foliar spray or coated with N mineral fertilizer) affected differently to barley growth and compared with an untreated control. Fertilizer (CAN + S) and PSI-362 biostimulant were added to plants at 2–3 leaf stage (GS12–13) at the same time. The dose of PSI-362 applied by foliar spray or coating was exactly the same and control plants were sprayed with distilled water. The phenotypical assessment was performed 14 days after fertilizer/PSI-362 treatment application. Means followed by different small letter within the same row indicate significant differences between treatments based on one-way ANOVA Tukey’s HSD test at p ≤ 0.05. Number of biological replicates (plant biomass, n = 60; NUE, n = 3).
