Hydrolysate based biostimulant compositions derived from methanotroph, methods, and applications thereof

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to protein hydrolysate based biostimulant composition derived from methanotrophic bacteria, and methods for enhancing agricultural productivity. In particular, the compositions disclosed herein comprise a protein-derived component in an amount of about 30% or less with respect to weight of the composition, wherein said protein-derived component is obtained from a methanotrophic bacterium. The present biostimulant composition finds applications in methods for improving plant performance along with methods for reducing the need of external chemical fertilizer-based inputs for plant growth.
