The use of biostimulators in potato crop is a modern agricultural practice aimed at enhancing plant physiological processes, nutrient efficiency, and yield stability under variable environmental conditions. This study evaluated the effects of biostimulator application on the yielding elements of the Romanian potato variety Darilena, considering cultivation location and planting density. Field trials were conducted over three consecutive years (2023-2025) at the National Research and Development Institute for Potato and Sugar Beet Brașov and at a private farm (Lorad Agro SRL, Codlea)
in Romania. Two planting densities (45,000 and 53,000 plants/ha) and five treatment variants were tested: control, three biostimulators (Genaktis 1, Irys, Terram Number One), and one foliar fertilizer (Wuxal Macromix). Results indicated that all biostimulants treatments significantly increased the number and weight of tubers per hill, independent of location and annual climatic variations.
