We are pleased to announce that Rafał Kukawka, PhD. of the Poznań Science and Technology Park has been appointed guest editor of the issue titled “Development and Application of Agricultural Biostimulants”, which is being prepared by the scientific journal “Molecules”.
Rafał Kukawka has been working in the PPNT Research Department for many years and currently serves as an expert on the Materials Synthesis Team. The scientist applies his knowledge of chemistry to develop technologies capable of solving the problems of modern agriculture. He leads a project under the LIDER program titled “Plant growth and development stimulators with immunity-inducing properties as an innovative product for use in the cultivation of food crops”.
The topics of the publications focus on the development and application of agricultural biostimulants. Authors of submitted papers may address issues related to the design of these substances, the chemical basis of their action, and their impact on processes occurring in plants.
The issue also covers methods for increasing the efficiency of nutrient utilization, mitigating the negative effects of abiotic stresses, and the practical use of biostimulants in sustainable agriculture. The publication will thus combine research on the mechanisms of action of these solutions with their potential applications in agricultural production.
Rafał Kukawka’s role as guest editor marks yet another commitment by a PPNT representative to the development and dissemination of scientific knowledge in the field of modern solutions for agriculture.
The deadline for submitting manuscripts is November 30, 2026.
