Cal. Food & Agric. Code § 14555.5 — Definitions is in force in the current edition of the Code, and nothing recorded condemns it.

The plant biostimulant thereby may improve nutrient availability, uptake, or use efficiency, tolerance to abiotic stress, and consequent growth, development, quality, or yield.
