The essence of the biostimulant is that it was obtained from the biomass of aboveground parts of field horsetail, rosehips, soapwort roots, subjected to 30-90 s of microwave action of 250-750 W at a pressure of 75-25 Pa. Extraction was carried out with water. When applied to plants in the form of a spray, it increases their resistance to abiotic stress and improves the assimilation of nutrients affecting the increase of yield.
